DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Authorities have released the name of a slain Des Moines resident whose body was found in an apartment.

Police identified the woman Tuesday as 45-year-old Sheila Keenan. Officers who were sent to the apartment around 10:40 p.m. Monday found her body and saw that she had suffered a traumatic injury.

Online court records say James Walden Jr. has been charged with first-degree murder and is being held pending $500,000 cash bail. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for him.

Police have not released more details about her slaying. Keenan’s death is Des Moines’ eighth homicide of the year.
