Demond Walker was arrested and booked into the Tulsa Jail on a complaint of first-degree murder.

Although the complex’s management barred reporters from the premises, Ashley confirmed that members of the deceased woman’s family were at the scene Friday morning.

“They’re visibly upset, as you can imagine,” he said. “Anyone who would discard a human body in a dumpster — you can imagine the effect on a family member to see that.”

Ashley did not know whether there were any visible wounds on the body.

Detectives interviewed neighbors and those who were at the apartment complex through the morning.

“In almost any type of crime, someone saw something, but at the moment they might have not realized what they saw,” Ashley said. “We’re asking anyone at this point, if they saw something but didn’t think it was anything at that time … we’re asking that individual to come forward.”
