A man has been arrested on a murder charge after a British woman who moved to the U.S. in the hope of becoming an attorney was found dead inside her apartment, police said Thursday.

June Bunyan, 37, was found dead on Sept. 11 after Los Angeles Police Department officers received information about a possible homicide at a Hollywood apartment and performed a wellness check. Authorities arrested Jonathan Renteria, 25, on suspicion of murder and booked him into the county jail in connection with the investigation, according to a complaint filed by the L.A. County District Attorney’s Office.

Bunyan’s friends and family have launched a crowdfunding campaign to bring her remains back to her native Scotland.

Vicky Tulika, who described Bunyan as her best friend, wrote on a GoFundMe page verified by NBC News that her friend had multiple degrees and had moved to the United States with dreams of taking the bar and becoming a defense lawyer.

"June was known for her vibrant personality, infectious laugh, and deeply compassionate heart," the GoFundMe said.
