A 36‑year‑old man was taken into custody this week after authorities linked him to the killing of his 61‑year‑old mother.
Police responded to a home on Dunning Drive shortly after 11 a.m. on Monday and discovered the woman deceased inside.
The circumstances surrounding her death remain under investigation.
A neighbor reported seeing the two individuals engaged in a heated argument days before the incident, describing the woman’s reaction as she slammed the door after the confrontation.
He also noted that the suspect had recently moved into the residence and kept a low profile, often smoking outside and playing guitar.
Investigators determined that the suspect had been living with his mother for roughly six months prior to the arrest.
His online profiles indicated that he identifies as transgender, and a recent post expressed frustration about being excluded from family gatherings.
