Police say no arrests have been made, and that the investigation is ongoing. We’ve reached out to the 70th Precinct for more information, and will update as we learn more.
If ruled a homicide, this would be the 13th in the precinct so far this year, compared to three in 2014 — this has already been the worst year for homicides in the precinct in more than a decade.
