A man and woman face second-degree murder charges in connection with the death of a victim found in a downtown apartment earlier this week in what police are describing as a domestic-related homicide. 

Dominic Hood, 29, was arrested late Wednesday in the northeast community of Pineridge.

Police couldn't locate Jordan Curtis Vaughn Smith, 27, so Canada-wide warrants were issued for her arrest.

After initial media reports were published about the warrants, she was taken into custody, police said Thursday afternoon.

On Tuesday around 9:30 p.m., police were called to an apartment building in the 200 block of Sixth Avenue S.E.

Officers found a man in his 20s dead inside an apartment.

Police say the accused and victim knew each other and that investigators believe "a fatal assault occurred as a result of a domestic-related matter."

"Details of the nature of the relationship between all three individuals forms part of the investigation and will not be released at this time," said police in a written statement.

An autopsy is scheduled to take place Friday.

The Calgary Police Service is asking anyone with information about the homicide to contact its non-emergency line at 403-266-1234 or provide tips anonymously through Crime Stoppers
