Authorities charged 27-year-old Amanda Ramirez with first-degree aggravated manslaughter following an investigation of the incident on June 22. 

Police responded to the Centennial Village Apartments, located in the 1200 block of East State Street, around 5:40 a.m. after receiving reports of an unconscious woman.
