A death investigation is underway at a Boston house tied to the husband of Rep. Ayanna Pressley. Police say officers were called to a home on Malta Street in Mattapan just before 2pm on Saturday "to investigate a person" and found an individual dead inside, reports CBS News. City records list Pressley's husband, Conan Harris, as the owner of the two-story, seven-bedroom house, which is a rental property that was recently for sale for $1.13 million. The case has been turned over to the homicide unit, and the property was cordoned off with crime scene tape.
According to an incident report seen by TMZ, the medical examiner has said the cause of death was a single gunshot wound, with the manner of death still to be determined. The Boston Herald reports that family has IDed the person found in the home as 18-year-old Yoseliani "Liani" Marte, with a GoFundMe for the teen noting she died "as a result of domestic violence."
"This coward killed my baby," a woman who says she's the mother of the deceased teen tells Boston 25. "He put a gun to her head, took my baby in that house, and left her to die." TMZ reports the home is no longer on the market. Pressley and Harris don't live there, per CBS. A spokesperson for Pressley said the congresswoman "extends her deepest condolences to the impacted family," and also that Pressley and her family weren't involved in the incident. Police said on Sunday they had no additional information to share, and the real estate agent listing the home hasn't commented. (This content was created with the help of AI. Read our AI policy.)
