SANDY -- Police are now investigating the suspicious death of a Sandy woman as a homicide.
Officials are still waiting for the official cause of death from the medical examiner to make an official ruling.
Police found 33-year-old Magda Aleman dead from a gunshot wound in her home near 11400 South and 1100 East Wednesday.
"We believe there was a struggle that took place and that the victim did receive at least a gunshot wound," Sgt. Troy Arnold with the Sandy City Police Department said earlier.
At the time they had not ruled out suicide or an accident as the cause of death, but they are now saying it was a homicide.
Officers executed a search warrant and gathered evidence at the home. They did not say what was found, but say there was no sign of forced entry into the home.
Police have yet to name any suspects or persons of interest in the case.
Sandy police are asking anyone with information on this case to call 801-568-INFO(4636).
