Tucson Police Department arrested 26-year-old Graham Karber Sunday for the Friday night homicide of a woman in a downtown area home.
Police officers responded to a scene in the 400 block of East Fifth Street near North Fourth Avenue at around 8 p.m. on Friday night after receiving a 911 call from a man saying that he found Amanda Vinson, 29, dead inside the home, according to Sgt. Chris Widmer, a police spokesman.
Vinson showed "obvious signs of trauma," Widmer said in a news release.
Detectives concluded that Karber and Vinson lived together at the home on Fifth Street as roommates. The cause of Vinsonβs death has not been determined yet, but detectives determined that Karber was responsible for the murder, police said.
At about 9 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19, a TPD officer found Karber during a follow-up investigation. The suspect fled on foot but after a short chase, was taken into custody without incident.
After murdering Vinson, Karber cut his hair and beard, police said.Β
Detectives asked anyone who has spoken to Karber after the murder to contact 911 or 88-CRIME.
