DENVER — Police are conducting a homicide investigation after a woman's body was found inside a unit at an apartment complex in southeast Denver Sunday.

The woman's body was found around noon at the Advenir at Cherry Creek South apartment complex in the 1200 block of South Quebec Street, just south of Leetsdale Drive, the Denver Police Department wrote in a tweet.
