Warren Woman Arrested After Livestreaming Police Standoff at Home Where Body Was Found

Police say the case remains in its early stages with investigators seeking public tips.

Overview

  • Officers responded around 5:14 a.m. after a caller reported a FaceTime admission of a killing and said they saw a body on the floor.
  • Police observed a deceased man through a window at the South Warren Street home and contacted the woman inside, who refused to come out.
  • The suspect made suicidal and homicidal statements, prompting a Special Response Team deployment and crisis negotiations.
  • Officers used tear gas and non-lethal rounds during the hours-long standoff before the woman surrendered nearly five hours after negotiators engaged.
  • The woman was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor hand lacerations, and police say her livestreamed claim of a drug-related motive remains unconfirmed.
