Authorities in Florida allege a 36-year-old woman killed her boyfriend, moved his body to a second location and left it near a dumpster.

Isidra Bautista Hernandez stands accused of second-degree murder, Orlando police said in a press release.

Cops began investigating on Monday when they responded to a man-down call at Pacifico Apartments on Shenandoah Way. Once they arrived, they found a man dead near a dumpster. They quickly determined the man's death was "suspicious," although the press release did not expand on what those circumstances were.

Detectives later learned there was a "potential crime scene at a second location," which was not divulged. While processing the second scene, officers found enough evidence to tie the killing to Bautista Hernandez and obtain an arrest warrant for her.

Police located Bautista Hernandez and took her into custody without incident on Wednesday. Police did not release the victim's name, as the department was still trying to notify his next of kin.

A probable cause affidavit, which could detail how the victim died and a potential motive, was not immediately available.

"The Orlando Police Department remains committed to thoroughly investigating violent crimes and working tirelessly to identify and apprehend those responsible," the agency said in the press release. "Our officers and detectives will continue pursuing every lead to bring justice to victims and their families."

The suspect remains in the Orange County Jail without bond. Her next court date is not listed.

Local ABC affiliate WFTV reported that both the suspect and victim entered the country illegally.

The incident remains under investigation.
