A 21-year-old Beaumont man was in custody on suspicion of murder Thursday in connection with the Tuesday discovery of a woman’s body at a Banning residence.
Devonta Eugene Leonard is suspected in the death of a woman found about 10 a.m. Tuesday in the 500 block of North Hathaway Street.
Police responded to a suspicious circumstances call Tuesday morning and located the woman, whose identity was being withheld. A coroner’s release only identifies her as a Banning resident.
Leonard’s relationship, if any, to the woman was not disclosed by police, nor how she died.
Leonard was being held without bail at the Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility in Banning.
