The St. Petersburg Police Department arrested a man for homicide on Sunday after finding his girlfriend's body near a dumpster on Saturday.

Daniel Coley, 41, was charged with second-degree murder after police officials said he killed his 41-year-old girlfriend Amanda Browning.

Browning's body was found near a dumpster on Saturday in the 3800 block of 15th Ave. North. She had visible stab wounds and cuts, police officials said.

A passerby discovered her body shortly after 8 a.m. and called police. The investigation and evidence led detectives to arrest Coley. The two shared an apartment, officials said. Coley was booked into the Pinellas County Jail.
