Authorities are investigating the brutal stabbing death of an 85-year-old Brooklyn woman after the woman’s daughter found her body and called police, officials say.
Police responding to a 911 call at a Throop Avenue home in Bedford-Stuyvesant Wednesday night found Julia Boomer with stab wounds throughout her body. She was taken to a hospital in critical condition and later died.
Officials say a person of interest was taken into custody. That person’s connection to Boomer, if any, wasn’t clear early Wednesday. No details on potential charges were immediately available.
