Autopsy results are expected tomorrow following the discovery of a woman’s body in a fifth-floor unit of a luxury apartment building in Boston’s South End.
Sources told Boston 25 News that the case is being treated as a homicide due to “circumstances that have not yet been made public.”
No one was in custody and no person of interest had been publicly identified as of Sunday evening.
Neighbors of The Harris South End have received emails about the death but have not heard any follow-up information.
“I watch a lot of true crime shows. I wonder if it could be a murder, a planned case,” said neighbor Jawad Husain.
Boston 25 News spoke briefly with a woman who identified herself as a relative of the woman whose body was found.
She declined to comment on the investigation and understandably asked for privacy.
Boston Police responded to a welfare check at 390 Harrison Avenue Thursday evening around 7 p.m. after receiving a call from the woman’s relative.
A police report shows officers knocked on the door and then entered the unit after hearing no answer.
“If I could take steps that would make me personally safer, it would be good to know,” said another neighbor.
The apartment complex has an array of security cameras, is staffed with a 24/7 concierge, and uses key fobs for the elevator and to access the rooms.
