Paramedics and officers were called to an apartment on East Main Street near Oregonia Road at about 8:30 p.m. because the woman, identified as Shawna L. Mitchell, 34, wasn't responsive.
Mitchell was dead when they arrived, police said.
Her 1- and 10-year-old children were inside, along with her boyfriend, Steven K. Lay, 34.
