SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- San Diego police Friday publicly identified the 64-year-old woman found dead inside a Barrio Logan apartment.

On June 24, Francisca Agundez's body was discovered in the bathroom around 4 p.m. in the 2800 block of Boston Avenue, after a man reported to police that he was unable to contact his mother.

The man told officers when he arrived at the apartment, he found his brother inside, and then found his mother unresponsive. A fight between the siblings followed and the brother who called the police was able to leave the apartment, SDPD said.
