A La Mirada woman’s death on June 4 was ruled a homicide, the coroner’s office stated, with a juvenile detained the same day for the fatal stabbing.

Deputies responded to a welfare check at the home around 9 a.m. and found her, sheriff’s Lt. Daniel Vizcarra said.

He confirmed a juvenile was detained for murder but didn’t give the suspect’s gender, age or if the suspect had any ties to the victim.
