The San Bernardino Sheriff’s Department issued a release on Saturday that said officers were called about a dead body ” inside an abandoned house in the 16600 block of Victor Street” at 11:10 a.m. local time on Friday.
When deputies got to the scene, they found the 24-year-old Tropez inside the home, “suffering from traumatic injuries.”
After investing, the sheriff’s homicide unit determined that Tropez and a woman named Alexis Call, also 24, “were familiar to each other and may have been squatting at the residence.”
Call was named a suspect and arrested. She is in the High Desert Detention Center for PC 187(A)-Murder, police said in the release.
