Police have arrested a 28-year-old man suspected in the death of a woman at a North Berkeley apartment building over the weekend.
The woman’s body was discovered about noon Saturday in a unit at an apartment building in the 1900 block of California Street by the complex’s property manager, Berkeley police said Wednesday.
The 37-year-old Berkeley woman, whose name has not been released, appeared to have died after she was assaulted, according to police.
Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for her boyfriend, Damarcus Jones, and he was arrested Tuesday in Dixon.
The Alameda County Coroner’s Office is conducting an autopsy to determine the final cause of death.
Jail records show Jones is being held without bail and is set to be arraigned on Thursday in Alameda County Superior Court.
