At a news conference on Friday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team identified the victim as Harpreet Kaur, 40.
“Our investigators have been working non-stop,” said IHIT spokesman Sgt. Timothy Pierotti. “These incidents have a significant impact, not only on the family and friends of the victim, but the entire community.”
A 40-year-old man who was known to the victim was arrested at the scene. He was released the next day.
Investigators hope releasing Kaur’s identity could help them build a case and further the investigation as they work to meet the threshold for charges.
