TEMPE, AZ - Police have arrested a man for the murder of a woman whose naked body was found in a Tempe street earlier this month.
According to Tempe police spokesman Michael Pooley, detectives arrested 27-year-old Douglas Ray George for the death of 23-year-old Annovedwin Begay-Barakzai.
A passerby found the victim dead around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 15 on Minton Drive near McClintock Drive and Baseline Road.
The Medical Examiner determined the cause of death to be blunt force trauma.
During the investigation, it was reportedly revealed that George drove Begay-Barakzai to Minton Drive after killing her at another location.
He then placed her body in a dark area of the neighborhood, Pooley said.
"The investigation was made even more complicated due to the fact that she had no identification and was left unclothed," Pooley said.
With the public's help, police were later able to identify Begay-Barakzai.
Pooley said George and Begay-Barakzai lived together near Baseline and Rural roads.
George was also arrested earlier this month for domestic violence on the victim, Pooley said.
Detectives determined that George was linked to the homicide and is being booked into Tempe City Jail on the charge of 2nd degree murder
