Woman's death at luxury apartment building in Boston's South End investigated by homicide detectives
BOSTON - A death investigation is underway at a luxury apartment building in Boston's South End.
Boston police said officers responded just before 7 p.m. on Thursday to 390 Harrison Ave. for a well-being check. A spokesperson for Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden confirmed a woman was found dead inside an apartment.
Homicide detectives were also called to the scene, Boston police said. The department said it is "actively reviewing the facts and circumstances surrounding this incident."
Death investigation at The Harris South End
There was a visible police presence Thursday night at the apartment complex called "The Harris South End," and officers have been in and out of the building on Friday. The building's website says it "offers luxury urban living in the heart of the South End."
"It's a very quiet, safe area," said Michael Dzialo, who lives in the building. "I came down, there was a whole bunch of cops and more cops outside."
It's not clear yet how the woman died. Nearly two dozen first responders were called to the scene, a police report stated.
"Anytime that there's a death we investigate it ... but it is suspicious in some way," Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox said. "I don't believe that there's anything for the public, generally to be alarmed about."
Police are asking anyone with information to call detectives at 617-343-4470, or give a tip anonymously at 1-800-494-TIPS or by texting the word "TIP" to CRIME (27463).
