Kelly Frederick, who is 33, has been charged with first- and second-degree murder. An arraignment was scheduled Thursday afternoon. Online court records didn’t list an attorney for Frederick, who is being held without bail.

Police said there were called to an apartment late Wednesday night, where they found two people holding Frederick on the ground.
