FORT LAUDERDALE – A New York woman has been arrested for her involvement in the murder of a Tamarac woman last month.
Sakiyna Thompson, 28, was taken into custody Wednesday by police in Springfield Gardens. She is expected to be extradited to Broward County to face one charge of murder in the first degree.
On Wednesday, July 13th, the Broward Sheriff’s Officer received a call about an unresponsive woman inside an apartment.
When deputies arrived they found the body of a 23-year-old woman in a 2nd-floor apartment at the Tamarac Village complex at 9322 N.W. 57th Street, near Commercial Boulevard.
The woman’s friends identified her as Kayla Hodgson.
Sheriff’s investigators determined that Thompson played a role in her murder, but they have not said what it was.
A warrant was issued for Thompson’s arrest on Monday, July 25.
