After releasing minimal information about an incident Monday night, Cedar Rapids Police have identified the victim of a stabbing.

One person was taken to the hospital after what authorities originally called a “weapons incident” at the Cambridge Townhouses on the 2100 block of North Towne Court Northeast.

Police were notified of the incident just before 6:45 pm.  The name of the individual and their condition had not been released, but now say that 29-year-old Devonna Walker was found at the scene, treated, and transported to a local hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

Two individuals were arrested and transported to be interviewed by police. Both were released after consultation with the Linn County Attorney’s Office.

Investigation into the incident is ongoing.
