FISH LAKE, Minn. — Sheriff's officials have identified a Fish Lake Township woman who was killed after what is being called a domestic violence incident.
In a Facebook post, the Isanti County Sheriff's Department identified the victim as Sarah Carda, a registered nurse who had worked with the agency as a nurse at the Isanti County Correctional Facility since 2014.
Chisago County sheriff's deputies responded to a home on Elmcrest Avenue in Fish Lake Township around noon Friday after a report from a family member about a possible disturbance. After speaking with the family member at the scene, deputies say they heard what was believed to be gunfire coming from inside the residence.
Deputies found Carda dead inside the home and took 39-year-old a man into custody. KARE 11 is not identifying the suspect as he has not been charged.
The post by the Isanti County Sheriff's Office states that Carda was "killed [on Friday] in a senseless act of domestic violence."
"Words cannot fully describe the shock and pain our agency and community are feeling," Sheriff Wayne Seiberlich wrote. "We pray that Sarah's loving memories bring you strength and comfort during this difficult time."
Charges could come in the case as early as Monday.
Carda's former colleagues in Isanti County remind everyone that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. If you are a victim or know someone who is experiencing domestic violence, call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233.
