Two men who were on the scene were taken into for questioning, Small said. Investigators believe the men knew the woman who would frequent the home and sometimes stay the night.
"We believe they all know each other," Small said, while noting the exact relationships weren't clear.
The deadly stabbing remained under investigation overnight. No weapon was immediately recovered.
