SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – San Diego Police homicide detectives are investigating the suspicious death of a woman in the Clairemont Mesa East neighborhood.
SDPD officials said the agency’s communications center was alerted via a 911 text message at around 4:54 a.m. Tuesday of a deceased person in a home in the 4000 block of Mt. Albertine Avenue.
Responding officers from the Northern Division arrived at the house and made contact with two men described by police as Chinese or Asian and in their early 30s. The men were detained for questioning, according to police.
Officers entered the home and discovered a woman -- described by police as Chinese or Asian and in her 20s or early 30s -- dead in a bedroom. She was not immediately identified.
SDPD officials stated, “The female’s injuries were undetermined due to the level of decomposition and the positioning of the female’s body.”
Because officers deemed the woman's death as suspicious, SDPD Homicide Unit detectives were brought in to investigate the circumstances that led to her death.
“I’ll get teary eyed, it’s just horrible. I hate to hear of anyone young just dying," said Dennis Blackwell, a neighbor.
Neighbors told 10News they've noticed suspicious behavior and unfamiliar faces at the home in recent months.
“There’s some kind of activity going on with a lot of guys coming in, being there for a little bit and then leaving," said Wayne Chilstrom.
Police have not determined if the woman was a visitor or lived at the home.
“At this time, detectives are still in the process of examining physical evidence from the scene, attempting to locate and interview witnesses and canvassing the area for surveillance footage that might provide more insight into the events leading up to the female’s death,” officials said.
Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the SDPD Homicide Unit at 619-531-2293 or Crime Stoppers at 888-580-8477.
