Police in Lone Tree are investigating a homicide after officers found the body of a 57-year-old woman inside her apartment.

This case began on Sept. 4 around 11:55 a.m., when officers with the police department went to Mayo's apartment at 10400 Park Meadows Drive for a welfare check. That's when they found Mayo's body.

Authorities have not disclosed her cause, manner or time of death. They did note in their original press release that she had worked part-time as a driver for Uber and Lyft.

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI helped with the investigation, which led to Raynolds' arrest.
