Framingham Woman Is Victim Of Homicide: Middlesex DA

FRAMINGHAM, MA — A 28-year-old woman was found dead inside her Framingham apartment Tuesday morning, and the Middlesex District Attorney's Office says she was the vicitm of a homicide.

Framingham police responded to the Halstead Apartments, 1640 Worcester Road, near 8:30 a.m. after an acquaintance found the woman dead inside her home. The woman had signs of "obvious trauma," Middlesex DA Marian Ryan said in a news release Tuesday night.

"The death is being investigated as an apparent homicide," Ryan and Framingham Chief Lester Baker said in the joint statement. "Investigators are in the very early stages of the investigation and have not yet made a determination about whether or not this is an isolated incident."

This is the first homicide in Framingham in 2021, and the first since a double-slaying in January 2020 that claimed James "Manny" Wade, 45, and his son, James Wade, 24. Just months before that incident, Jamee Maddrey-Ammons, 27, was stabbed to death in her apartment off of Interfaith Terrace. Christopher McKoy, 25, has been charged with her murder.

Anyone with tips about the Tuesday homicide should contact Framingham police at 508-532-5911 or 508-872-1212.
