A 46-year-old woman was found dead in her West Seattle home Saturday afternoon.

Officers located the deceased woman’s body inside her home in the 5900 block of Highpoint Drive SW.

KING 5 identifies the woman as 46-year-old Nga Nguyen. Her daughter tells KING 5 it appeared her mother was stabbed.

“I wish I could have been here. Maybe I could have saved my mom,” said 20-year-old Trang Nguyen. “I just miss my mom.”

Anyone with information is asked to call the Seattle Police Homicide tip line at (206) 233-5000. Police remind the public anonymous tips are welcome.
