Authorities in New York are looking for a man in connection with the death of a 26-year-old woman found with a fatal neck injury late Thursday.
Police in Buffalo alerted the NYPD to the crime after the woman’s 32-year-old boyfriend informed them that she was dead at the Brooklyn address.
Officers responded to the two-family home on New York Avenue in Midwood at around 9 p.m. and found the victim dead in the basement.
The basement is reportedly subdivided into single, rental rooms. The victim was found in one of the rooms, where she “occasionally” stayed, with a fatal neck injury.
“It’s terrible. It’s disgusting. She was only a 26-year-old girl,” a neighbor said.
“She stays here sometimes, but this was temporary. Her father dropped her off here when he was living here.”
Cops are now searching for a man and reviewing video footage to identify him or obtain the license plate number of his vehicle.
“I saw the guy, and when he realized, he left fast,” the neighbor said, adding that he last saw the suspect more than a week ago.
“When I asked her who it was, she said it was her friend.”
