At approximately 10:15 p.m. on May 27, officers responded to a disturbance in the 2400 block of Northwest 57th St. The victim and suspect reportedly resided together.

The couple got into some sort of domestic dispute and the suspect beat the victim with a hammer and possibly other objects, mortally wounding her.

The suspect then jumped to his death from the south windows of the sixth-floor apartment. The victim was treated at the scene by Seattle Fire Department and taken to Harborview Medical Center, where she died.

Homicide and CSI were called out to the scene. The area was canvassed and CSI processed the scene for evidence.
