Officers responded to a 911 call from a home on Haven Drive “for a female in medical distress,” police said in a news release on Monday.

Police say they located an elderly female inside the residence who “was injured from what appeared to be an assault with a weapon,” the release went on to say.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.
