Overview
- A property manager found an unresponsive woman inside an apartment in the 1900 block of California Street and called police, who discovered her dead inside the unit.
- Berkeley patrol officers initially responded and homicide detectives have now assumed the investigation as a possible homicide.
- Police say the victim is a woman in her 30s but have not released her name and officials have not announced a cause of death.
- Authorities ask anyone with information to contact the Berkeley Police Homicide Unit at 510-981-5741 to help the ongoing inquiry.
- The case is in its early stages so there are no public forensic findings yet and local reporting notes this is Berkeley’s first homicide probe in over a year, providing limited broader context as detectives continue work.
