FORT DODGE — Police have arrested a 28-year-old man suspected of killing his girlfriend’s mother in Fort Dodge.

He was arrested after police were called to a home around 9:15 a.m. Monday. Officers dispatched to check on a domestic dispute there found the 45-year-old woman unresponsive.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police identified her Tuesday as Angela McLeod.
