A spokesman for the prosecutor’s office was not immediately available to provide more details about the woman’s death.
If ruled a homicide, it would be the first murder in Kearny since the 2013 shooting of 16-year-old Alishia Colon. As a result of the killing, Cruz Martinez, Jr. was given a life sentence in prison.
