A 43-year-old woman was found shot dead inside the basement of a Staten Island home after cops executed a search warrant, the NYPD said Thursday.
Cops armed with the warrant made the gruesome discover 1 p.m. Monday in the basement of a three-story house in New Brighton after getting a tip there was a body at the location.
The city Medical Examiner determined the victim had been shot in the chest. Her name was not immediately released as cops worked to track down relatives.
No arrests have been made.
Neighbors had complained about the property on York Ave. near Fillmore St. to the Department of Buildings, claiming over the last few years the owner had subdivided the basement into small rooms to rent out.
“They have people living in basement in different rooms,” the complaint states.
