Details are sketchy, but police were called to the 1400 block of W. 16th Avenue. Police spokeswoman Corporal Gabrielle King says it was a domestic dispute and they took a woman into custody for choking a man to death.
King says there have been way too many murders lately and they could use more manpower.
"You could always use more police officers especially in a city of this size. You could always use more," said King.
The as-yet-unidentified man became the third victim of a homicide this week and the city's 28th of 2013.
