PORTLAND – Police in Portland have arrested a man in connection with the shooting death of a 48-year-old woman.

Emergency workers found Cory Jonell Lumber, also known as Cory Jonell Ruth, dead inside a Mill Park neighborhood apartment Saturday evening. The woman’s boyfriend, Spencer Thomas Johnson, 37, was arrested later that night and booked into the Multnomah County Jail.

Police say Johnson has been charged with murder and unlawful use of a weapon and he is scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear if Johnson had an attorney.

The medical examiner says Lumber died of a single gunshot wound.
