LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Detectives with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department are investigating the murder of a woman found stabbed to death at an apartment on Wednesday night.

Officers were called to the 7400 block of west Charleston Boulevard, east of Buffalo Drive, at approximately 7:45 p.m., officials said.

Police told KTNV that an adult female was declared deceased on the scene. Officers were notified of her death when her parents went to the apartment to check her welfare and found her dead with a stab wound, said Lt. Jason Johansson.

The woman has since been identified as 41-year-old Felicia Ann Smith, of Las Vegas by the Clark County Coroner.

Johansson said her death is "considered suspicious" and is being investigated as a homicide. The coroner also confirmed that her death was caused by "multiple sharp force injuries."

Officials couldn't immediately provide additional information about Smith's death or any potential suspects.
