Roseville police have arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with the fatal stabbing of a homeless woman downtown<\/a> earlier this week, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The teen was taken into custody Friday morning after a regional SWAT team served a search warrant at a home in the 100 block of Buckley Court in Roseville, said Lt. Nick Gaines, a Roseville Police Department spokesperson.<\/p>\n

The boy was booked into Placer County Juvenile Hall on suspicion of murder, Gaines said. Police did not release his identity.<\/p>\n

The victim \u2014 identified by the Placer County Sheriff\u2019s Office on Thursday as Cherie Dodge, 57<\/a> \u2014 was found stabbed near Atlantic and South Grant streets about 1 a.m. Wednesday. Officers responding to a report of a stabbing found Dodge, who was pronounced dead at the scene.<\/p>\n

Investigators with the Police Department\u2019s investigations unit and Real Time Crime Center spent the next two days gathering evidence and pursuing leads, Gaines said.<\/p>\n

Detectives identified a person of interest and obtained a search warrant for a residence. The Roseville-Rocklin regional SWAT team assisted investigators in serving the warrant Friday morning.<\/p>\n

Police said there was no known relationship between Dodge and the teenager. Investigators did not disclose a possible motive.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe arrest is an important step in this investigation, but we recognize that it does not lessen the loss felt by Ms. Dodge\u2019s family and friends,\u201d Gaines said in the department\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n

The department said it would continue investigating the killing and remain in contact with Dodge\u2019s family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roseville police have arrested a 15-year-old boy in connection with the fatal stabbing of a homeless woman downtown…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499532,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[121,123,122],"class_list":["post-499531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499531"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499531\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
