Man detained after woman's body found at Northeast Miami-Dade home
MIAMI - The Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office has detained a man after a woman's body was found at a Northeast Miami-Dade late Monday night.
The sheriff's office said they are investigating the death as a homicide.
A man who lives behind the home, at NE 2 Ave. and NE 107 St., said he walked out into his backyard early Tuesday morning and heard noise from Miami-Dade Sheriff's investigators at his neighbor's house. He said when he looked over the fence, he saw a woman's body on the ground near the home's back door. He said he didn't recognize her.
The man said that a mother and her son have lived in the home since the 1990s. The man said he called his neighbor, who is a good friend, a handful of times until she answered on the fourth try.
"I said: 'Where are you?!' I saw something happen on your house," he recounted.
The man said the call was brief and he didn't learn very much.
Another neighbor said around 10 p.m. Monday they heard several gunshots.
