The NYPD wants to interview the boyfriend of a woman who was found burned from head to toe in the bathtub of a Jamaica apartment. Detectives from the 103rd Precinct were looking for Carlos Leon, aka Carlos Alvarez, and were asking for the public’s help following the grisly discovery of 28-year-old Miriam Velez-Samayoa when they responded to a 911 call of a possible assault in progress just after 4 a.m. Saturday.
Velez-Samayoa was unconscious and unresponsive when police responded to 147-28 90th Ave. and EMS pronounced her dead at the scene, according to the NYPD. Her death has been ruled a homicide, according to an NYPD spokeswoman.
Anyone with information about the investigation, or the whereabouts of Carlos Leon, are asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
