A deceased woman was found by Beverly Hills police in a home on the 100 block of North Hamilton Drive at 1:48 p.m. Wednesday.

Officers came to the residence to conduct a welfare check and discovered a 58-year-old female who was apparently the victim of a homicide, according to a statement released by Lt. Mark Rosen of the Beverly Hills Police Department.

A preliminary investigation revealed that the victim likely knew the suspect and a person of interest was soon detained at a nearby office building. That person was ultimately arrested on suspicion of homicide and booked into the Beverly Hills Jail. No other outstanding suspects are wanted at this time.

The identity of the victim has not been released.
