Homicide Investigation Underway In Concord

CONCORD, NH — A Concord woman stabbed last night has passed away and now, the New Hampshire Attorney General's Office and police are investigating the incident as a homicide, according to a press statement. Concord Police as well as fire and rescue teams were sent to North State Street near Swenson Granite Works last night at just before 8:45 p.m. for a person hurt inside of a vehicle. When officers arrived, they found a woman with a stab wound to the chest, according to reports online.

The woman, Sabrina Marie Galusha, 23, of Concord, was transported to Concord Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The state's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner is performing an autopsy to determine "the exact cause and manner of death," according to Jeffrey Strelzin, a senior assistant attorney general.

"The investigation is still in the early stages and is ongoing," he noted. "However, it appears that the actual incident occurred outside at the Penacook Place Apartments at 36 Pinehurst St. in Concord."

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact Lt. Sean Ford at 603-225-8600 or Concord Regional Crimeline at 603-226-3100.

The incident last night was the third stabbing incident in the city in less than a week, according to police. Two stabbing incidents, believed to be drug related, were reported on May 23, and May 24, according to a Concord Regional Crimeline alert. The particulars of this case are unknown at post time.
