Detectives detained a person of interest on Saturday shortly after finding a 20-year-old woman dead on the floor of a Hollis garage.
Law enforcement sources said that police were called to a home on Farmers Boulevard near 103rd Avenue at about 10:58 a.m. on June 29.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers from the 103rd Precinct were directed to the home’s garage, where they located the 20-year-old female victim lying on the floor, unconscious and unresponsive. Police did not have immediate information about the extent of her injuries.
