A 65-year-old woman was found dead, officers said.

The coroner went to the scene, deemed the woman’s death suspicious and homicide detectives took over the investigation, police added.

The location where the woman was found is not far from where a man died after a shooting Friday evening, though police said there’s no indication the two incidents are connected.
