A woman found dead in the town of Beloit died from homicidal violence, according the the Rock County Medical Examiner.

The victim was identified Monday as Brandy Lee Carroll, 19, of Beloit. The medical examiner’s office said additional testing is underway in the death investigation.

Rock County officials said the man arrested at the home where Carroll’s body was found Saturday morning is a person of interest in the death investigation.

Officers were called to a home along the 1900 block of South Dewey Avenue Saturday morning for a welfare check. That’s where crews found a woman’s body in the garage.

The Rock County medical examiner said Carroll likely died sometime Saturday morning.

A man that lives at the house, Andre Robinson, 38, was taken into custody on a probation hold and for resisting officers, Rock County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Todd Christiansen said. Authorities are still investigating the incident and the connection between the woman and Robinson.

Christiansen said Robinson let police into the home to search, and when they found the body he attempted to run away.
