The incident occurred around 8:30 a.m. in the lot off Lindsay Lane, where the 18-year-old victim was found dead in the lot next to her vehicle, according to authorities.

Investigators described the victim's death as a domestic incident. A male suspect was taken into custody in Northeast Philadelphia.

There were no other individuals involved and no SEPTA customers were in danger, an official said.

An investigation at the scene remains ongoing with the Abington Police Department, Montgomery County Detectives and SEPTA police.
