HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- Police identified the woman found dead in a western Henrico County home as Amber Kavanagh Riley.
Riley, 49, was killed Monday afternoon amid a domestic dispute, according to police.
Richard Alan Lombardi, 51, of Henrico, was arrested and charged with 2nd-degree murder in connection to Riley's death.
"He is currently being held at the Henrico County Jail on no bond," a Henrico Police spokesperson wrote. "Ms. Riley and Mr. Lombardi were known to one another."
Henrico Police responded to the 9500 block of Downing Street, in the Gates Head neighborhood Monday, at about 3 p.m., for a reported domestic disturbance.
When officers arrived, they made contact with a man who refused to come outside, police said.
"Multiple units from within the Henrico County Police Division responded to the scene to assist with the active incident," a Henrico Police spokesperson said. "At approximately 6:21 p.m., the suspect was taken into custody without incident."
Riley was a mother and manager at Capital One, according to social media profiles and people who knew her.
Outside her home on Tuesday, neighbors gathered to drop off flowers at her mailbox and talk with each other about what happened. Some who spoke to CBS 6 off-camera said they had met Riley during neighborhood events and that she was a nice, kind, and warm person.
Lombardi was arraigned Tuesday morning and held without bond.
His next scheduled appearance for this case was scheduled for October 11.
The Commonwealth's Attorney's office confirmed Lombardi has had other charges in District Court over the years.
They added he was given a court appointed attorney in Tuesday's hearing, but indicated in court he may seek to hire one himself.
He has an appearance scheduled for Thursday on a public intoxication charge from June of this year.
Anyone with information about Riley's death was asked to call Det. Egan at 804-501-4878 or Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.
