The woman, Yuvonne Allison, was found stabbed to death by deputies and detectives responding to a request for a "welfare check" at a home in the River Road neighborhood.

Police in Washington arrested a man suspected of fatally stabbing a 44-year-old woman who was found dead Wednesday, Aug. 19, in a home in the River Road neighborhood, the Lane County Sheriff’s Office said.

Yuvonne Allison died from “multiple stab wounds,” the sheriff’s office said in a news release Thursday.

Skagit County, Washington, authorities arrested Tyler Earl Essex, 46, on suspicion of murder Thursday, according to jail and court records and the Lane County Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies and detectives found Allison after responding to a request for a “welfare check” made by an “out-of-state” caller, the sheriff’s office said.

An affidavit filed in Lane County Circuit Court seeking an arrest warrant for Essex states that Allison was found just before 10 a.m. in a home on the 1400 block of Manzana Street, west of River Road. 

Essex and Allison reportedly lived together, according to the affidavit written by Brandon Nash, a detective with the sheriff’s office.

The affidavit refers to a statement by a witness about a “loud verbal dispute” around midnight, just hours before Allison was found dead, and security camera footage reportedly showing Essex leaving the dwelling at about 12:15 a.m.

Authorities in Skagit County worked with the Lane County Sheriff’s Office to “take Essex into custody without incident,” the sheriff’s office said.

The news release stated there is “no threat to the public,” and that “all parties associated with this investigation have been accounted for.”

Essex was being held in jail in Skagit County as of midday Thursday.
