Concord Cops Investigating Woman Found Dead Inside South End Apartment

CONCORD, NH — Concord police are investigating a woman who was found dead inside an apartment on Downing Street in the city’s South End.

Limited information is available at post time. What is known is that multiple officers and fire and rescue teams were sent to an apartment in the 9-13 Downing St. block around 8:15 p.m. for a report of a woman in her 30s who was found dead inside. EMTs and police, when they arrived, confirmed the woman was dead.

Five police cruisers were seen outside of the apartment. The officers have been inside the apartment, investigating the incident, since that time.

A medical examiner was sent to the scene around 9:15 p.m. Evidence technicians for the police department arrived around 11:30 p.m.

It is unknown how long the woman has been dead.

In homicide and suspicious death cases, a press release is usually issued by the New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office. No statement has been made at post time.

Concord Police Deputy Chief John Thomas limited comment about the incident because it was still an open investigation.

“It is an unattended death and it is being investigated,” he said.

During this time period, police and fire and rescue teams were also sent to O Steak and Seafood for a report of a man with lacerations.

Firefighters cleared the scene later, reporting to dispatch the incident was a police matter. An officer was able to get control of a man and took him to Concord Hospital. He was placed in a yellow pod and trespassed from the restaurant later. Family members were also contacted, according to scanner chatter.

Not long after that incident, police were sent to the Hannaford supermarket to deal with two homeless shoplifters. A store manager said one of the suspects had a large knife and they were concerned about confronting the person about stolen items.

Officers dealt with that situation as well.
