Boston police announced that the death of 18-year-old Yoseliani Ann Marte Ocasio, discovered on July 18th, has been officially classified as a homicide by the Chief Medical Examiner. The young woman was found with a gunshot wound at a Boston residence around 2 p.m. and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities confirmed the house, located in the Mattapan neighborhood, is owned by Conan Harris, the husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley. However, the couple does not live in the home, which is reportedly operated as a rental property.
The Boston Police Department's Homicide Unit is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. They are appealing to the public for any information that may assist their investigation.
The family has indicated through a GoFundMe campaign that Marte Ocasio died as a result of domestic violence, though further details have not been disclosed. A prayer vigil was held at the property last week.
