Post by Kira T. »

CENTURY CITY, CALIFORNIA - Los Angeles police on Monday announced that a homicide suspect was arrested in connection with a woman's death last week in Century City.

Officers were called to the 10300 block of Bellwood Avenue at around 6:15 on Friday, when Los Angeles Fire Department crews were on the scene of a fire inside an apartment building, according to a news release from LAPD.

Firefighters told police that a female victim was found suffering from burns sustained in the fire, as well as other injuries "consistent with stab wounds," the release said.

She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she later died. She has not yet been identified.

LAPD detectives assumed the investigation and identified the suspect as 33-year-old Willian Santos. He was taken into custody in Lebec at around 8 p.m. that same night. His arrest was the result of a combined effort from the FBI/LAPD Fugitive Task Force and the California Highway Patrol, police noted.
