The NYPD is searching for a woman for questioning in connection to a stabbing death of a bodega owner last month in Crown Heights. Shortly after midnight on February 28th, police were dispatched to 497 Albany Avenue after they received reports of a person shot inside the residence. When they arrived to the scene, they found 69-year-old Sergio Bosse dead with a wound in the back of his head—an autopsy later determined that Bosse was stabbed, not shot.
DNAinfo reports his body was found tied up in his bed in the apartment above the bodega he owned. Investigators have released video of a known associate of Bosse that they would like to question in connection to the murder. In the footage, she is seen at a liquor store some time before the murder.
Anyone with information in regards to this homicide, or the identity of the female, is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
