College Station police say the New Year's Eve death of a 20-year-old woman is a homicide.

Ashli Stewart was found deceased around 3:20 p.m. inside an apartment at a complex located at 1300 Harvey Mitchell Parkway near Holleman Drive. It's unclear who first discovered her body and notified authorities.

Family members were on the scene shortly after officers and medics responded to where her body was located inside a second-level apartment at the complex.

It's unknown if she lived in the apartment where she was found.

Police said the circumstances surrounding her death are suspicious but a cause of death wasn't immediately known. A police spokesman did tell KBTX "there is not believed to be any danger to the general public" - hinting that her death was not a random act of violence.

Crime scene tape was put up around the entire unit as detectives and investigators searched the complex and collected evidence for their reports.

Meanwhile, tributes from family and friends started pouring in Tuesday evening to Stewart's personal Facebook page.

One user said "Ashli Stewart, Please come back. Please, you didn't deserve this."

Another said "My heart is broken right now. Who in the world did this?"
