TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Police in Tucson say a man has been arrested in connection with the death of his live-in girlfriend.
They say 21-year-old Joshua Hilaire is jailed on $1 million bond on suspicion of first-degree murder.
Family members of 18-year-old Rosaura Hernandez broke in to the couple’s apartment Sunday night after they were unable to contact her.
She found unresponsive and police declared her dead at the scene.
Police say Hernandez told family members she was fighting with her boyfriend Sunday afternoon and asked for a ride.
Family members went to the couple’s residence twice, but there was no answer at the door.
They finally forced their way in about 7 p.m. and called police when they found Hernandez with signs of blunt force trauma.
An arrest warrant was issued for Hilaire.
