Cops are investigating the suspicious death of a 75-year-old woman inside her Bronx apartment on Saturday and have taken the woman’s nephew into custody for questioning, police sources said.
Victim Carmen Nunez was repeatedly slammed against a wall during an argument inside her apartment on Manida St. near Lafayette Ave. in Hunts Point, the sources said.
Responding officers found her unconscious inside her apartment about 12:45 a.m. Medics pumped Nunez’ chest at the scene before rushing her to Lincoln Hospital, where she died.
An autopsy has been slated to determine how Nunez died.
Her nephew was in the apartment when cops arrived. He was taken into custody as a person of interest and was being questioned by detectives.
No charges have been filed.
