Citrus Heights Police are continuing to investigate after a deceased female was discovered in an apartment bedroom following a fire on Monday morning.
Eric Dias with the Citrus Heights Police Department’s General Investigations Unit told The Sentinel on Thursday that police officers arrived alongside Sacramento Metropolitan Fire District crews around 9 a.m. Monday morning to reports of a smoke alarm going off in an apartment in the 6200 block of Mariposa Avenue in Citrus Heights.
Dias said the Police Department’s General Investigations Unit was called out to the scene, which he described as a typical response in such situations.
“Nothing is leading us down the homicide route right now,” Dias said Thursday, adding that the death is still suspicious until the full investigation is concluded.
Sacramento Metro fire officials on Monday said smoke was found upon entry into the apartment, but “no active fire” was found. Damage to the bedroom was “minimal,” and only small items and a blanket were burned.
No other apartment units were affected, and no other residents were occupying the apartment at the time of the fire.
