COBB COUNTY, Ga. — Police said a death investigation underway in the Wavery subdivision Monday night in Cobb County is now a homicide case.
Detectives have been working in and out of a home on Evian Way for about seven hours.
Cobb County dispatch said someone called 911 for help there around 10:14 a.m. Cobb County Police Department said patrol officers went there for a welfare check and discovered a woman dead inside.
“Scary, honestly,” said Larissa Prieskorn. “I would not expect it in my neighborhood at all.”

Neighbors passing by the crime scene tape and police SUVs were anxious for answers.
One neighbor who did not want to talk publicly said the woman who lived in the home was sweet, in her 60s. She said she was a speech pathologist at one point in her career.
“I’m really sad to hear that, and I give them my condolences. I just hope they are at peace and not a lot of worrying,” Prieskorn said.
Before 5 p.m., police wrapped up their investigation. Detectives would not confirm the name of the woman killed, how she died or who hurt her. They did confirm a person of interest was in custody.
The Cobb County Medical Examiner would not confirm the woman’s name Monday evening.
An investigator said Cobb County police will be the one to notify the public.
