A 75-year-old woman was found dead inside a Hunts Point residence early Saturday after what police sources said was a domestic dispute that turned violent.
Officers responded to a 911 call reporting an assault in progress at 754 Manida St. around 12:43 a.m.
When officers arrived, they found Carmen Nunez, 75, unconscious and unresponsive.
First responders rushed her to Lincoln Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Police sources say the woman's nephew is in custody and that the incident stemmed from a dispute that escalated into a physical altercation.
The investigation remains ongoing.
