A death investigation is underway after Boston Police investigating a report of a person stabbed found a woman dead in a home at 43 Claybourne St. in Dorchester on Monday, Feb. 3.

According to a BPD account, officers from Area C-11 were called to the address around 2:45 p.m. for a report of a person stabbed. The police "made a forced entry into the reported apartment" after no one answered their knocks on the door.

"Officers located the adult female victim in one of the bedrooms and Boston EMS declared the victim non viable," according to a police report shared with the Reporter.

Homicide detectives are investigating and "no arrests have been made at this time," a police spokesperson said.

If ruled a homicide, this would be the fifth known murder in the City of Boston in 2025.
