This week, police and sources said they found a 51-year-old woman dead in her Brooklyn apartment with wire around her neck.
Around 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, when the neighbor went to check on the woman in her fourth-floor apartment on Flatlands Avenue near Elton Street in East New York, they found the horrific scene.
Police said that her dead body was lying face up on the living room floor with the wire around her throat.
When EMS arrived, they pronounced the woman dead at the scene.
Her name was not released right away because her family needed to be told, but sources said she has been arrested 28 times, is wanted for menacing, and has a history with drugs.
Thursday, the circumstances of her death were still being looked into.
