Police say Anthony Miguel Strong, 50, was taken into custody without incident outside his Silver Spring home Tuesday morning. Montgomery County police said in a news release that officers found Chaunya Michalyn Blackwell, 43, dead inside the home with apparent trauma.

Blackwell’s body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Baltimore to determine cause of death.

Strong and Blackwell shared the Bradbury Manor Court home, according to police, and appeared to be dating.

The case remains under investigation.
