Police have opened a homicide investigation into the death of an 18-year-old Bronx<\/a> woman who was found with a fatal gunshot wound inside a Hell\u2019s Kitchen<\/a> public housing complex early Sunday, authorities said.<\/p>\n The victim, identified as Kimberly Olmos, of the University Heights portion of the Bronx, was discovered around 12:45 a.m. on November 2 inside the Harborview Terrace at 520 West 55th Street, according to the NYPD.<\/p>\n Officers responding to a 911 call for an assault in progress found Olmos in a stairwell with a single gunshot wound to the head.\n<\/p>\n A firearm was recovered at the scene, according to police sources familiar with the case, noting that only one shot was fired.\n<\/p>\n Olmos was taken by EMS to Mount Sinai Morningside, where she was pronounced dead. The city\u2019s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled the death a homicide.\n<\/p>\n No arrests have been made, and police say they do not yet have a description of a suspect, as of yet. The Daily News<\/a> reports that investigators are considering the possibility that Olmos had been walking down the stairs with a friend who was handling the gun, and that it accidentally discharged, fatally striking her.<\/p>\n The 18-year-old\u2019s father told the same paper that he had been \u201cconcerned about the people she was hanging out with.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Olmos\u2019 death has left family and friends reeling. Her grandmother, Sharol Olmos, announced the death of her eldest granddaughter on Facebook \u201cwith great pain,\u201d mourning a life she said was \u201cruthlessly ripped\u201d from their family by gun violence.<\/p>\n On Wednesday, friends launched a fundraiser<\/a> to help cover funeral costs, describing her as \u201cthe sweetest girl you could ever meet\u201d and noting she was her mother\u2019s only child.<\/p>\n \u201cShe was a great friend, great daughter and a beautiful soul,\u201d friends, Mya and Brianna wrote, noting that the funeral is scheduled for Nov. 9.\n<\/p>\n \u201cShe deserves a lovely funeral as a last goodbye to her passing. We could use all the support and help to raise money for Kimberly\u2019s funeral,\u201d they wrote. \u201cShe deserves everything under the sun.\u201d<\/p>\n Anyone with information regarding Olmos\u2019 death is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA).
