Officers responded to the call shortly after 9 p.m.
The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Wednesday, police identified the victim as 50-year-old Alicia Elder, of Durham.
Elder's daughter Jacquelyn Elder-Donevan said her mom was well-educated and "an amazing person dedicated to the community."
B & D Behavioral Health Services in Durham said they contracted Elder, a licensed clinical social worker who worked with children with behavioral issues.
Catherine Peters, the practice manager, said Elder was a great therapist and that her death is devastating to them.
Elder leaves behind three children, seven grandchildren, and a fiancé.
Her accused murder was arrested Thursday.
