NEW ORLEANS — A 63-year-old woman was stabbed to death in an Algiers apartment complex Saturday afternoon, a release said.
The victim — whose name is being held until police notify family members — was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
After 911 dispatchers got a call about an unresponsive woman, officers with the New Orleans Police Department's Fourth District went to the 3600 block of Texas Drive.
Police were gathering evidence and clues Saturday night to find out who else was connected to the scene of the crime, who killed the victim, and why.
The release said the "offense" happened around 1:35 p.m. Police didn't arrive until later.
The investigation is open, but police did not say if they had any suspects or leads.
The victim's name will be released by the Orleans Parish Coroner's Office after an autopsy to find out exactly how she died.
