Rose Sieniawski, 59, lived at 616 N. Godfrey St., where the shooting suspect was himself shot by police, and then arrested, following a standoff with officers Tuesday night at the building.

The Lehigh County coroner said on Wednesday he knew the woman's identity, but was not releasing it until next of kin was notified. The office used fingerprints to identify her.

Records show Sieniawski lived and worked in Staten Island, New York, until 2013.

Sieniawski's body was found about 2:45 p.m. Sunday in a large blue container in the parking lot behind 801-811 E. Tilghman St., about a block from her apartment.

Sieniawski died from multiple gunshot wounds, and Coroner Scott Grim ruled her death a homicide.

The suspect will be arraigned on charges related to the police officer's shooting as soon as he is "medically able," Assistant Chief Glen Dorney said.
