VANDENBERG VILLAGE, Calif. — A Lompoc woman was arrested Saturday in connection to a homicide, according to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to the area of Sami Lane and Khouri Circle, at approximately 6:42 a.m. A report indicated "suspicious circumstances," which means a deputy still believes a crime may have occurred and requires additional follow up.

Deputies discovered an adult female homicide victim inside a residence on Khouri Circle through their investigation.

Detectives assisted with the investigation and identified an adult female suspect, "who was known to the victim." The suspect was identified as a 46-year-old woman from Lompoc and Oklahoma.

"The identity of the victim is being withheld, pending notification to next-of-kin," said the SBCSO.

The 46-year-old was booked at the Santa Maria Northern Branch Jail where she is being held on $2,000,000 bail.

At this time, detectives believe there are no outstanding suspects in this case.
