Authorities say a Mississippi woman was killed in her home and her boyfriend is charged in her death.

Forrest County Deputy Coroner Lisa Klem tells news outlets 35-year-old Jacqueline Davis was killed Friday night. County sheriff’s spokesman Investigator John Tryner says deputies responding to a shooting report had found Davis dead, but she didn’t appear to have been shot.

Tryner says Davis’ death may have been caused by blunt-force trauma. He says a weapon was recovered at the scene but didn’t specify what it was.

Davis’ boyfriend who lived in the home, 32-year-old Robert Anthony Maye, was arrested at the scene and charged with murder. It’s unclear if Maye has a lawyer who could comment.

Davis’ body was sent to the state crime lab in Jackson for an autopsy.
