Full Notification

At approximately 12:37 am Sheriff Deputies from Lancaster Station responded to the 2200 block of Morningside Drive, Lancaster regarding a call of a woman screaming. While en route to the call it was upgraded to a burglary in progress, when deputies arrived they located a male white in his 40s standing near the location.

The male white was not wearing shoes but the deputies noticed the clothing he was wearing was bloody. Deputies detained him and after conducting an investigation they determined he lived in a residence adjacent to the call.

The front door of that location was open and deputies noticed blood on the floor inside the house. Deputies made entry to ensure no injured persons inside the residence. During a check of the house, deputies discovered an adult female deceased inside the residence.  Detectives have determined the male and the female were involved in a domestic relationship.

The male will be booked for murder at Lancaster Sheriff Station.
