Police identified the victim as Marisol Ballestas Brochero. She was 32.

It happened just before 12:30 p.m. Friday off of the 1600 block of Graves Road. Police say the victim’s relative saw her body in an apartment on the second floor and called 911.

What they're saying:

What we don't know:

The details of the incident and what led to Brochero’s death are unclear. Police say they are looking into how she died. 

"At this time, the death is being investigated as a suspicious death," Carter said.

Is a second incident from earlier in the day related?

Investigators also say another family member of Brochero was involved in a car crash at Graves Road and Dawson on Friday morning. The victim in that incident was taken to the hospital. That person’s condition is unclear. Police are not certain if the two incidents are connected.

"The two individuals involved in each incident have a relationship," Carter said.
