Woman found naked with stab wounds in Flushing storefront

Police found a woman's body inside a first-floor shop in Flushing, Queens, around 5 p.m. Friday, according to law enforcement sources. The shop is on 164th Street and Depot Road. The woman was naked and face down, and she had been stabbed in the head and all over her body. Sources said no identification was found with her.

The store appeared to advertise massages. Nearby residents said the space used to be a skin care clinic that closed several years ago. One neighbor, Tayyab Ubaidi, said it had been empty until a business started up a few months ago, and he was not sure what kind of business it was. He said he never saw anyone go in for skin care. Another resident, Minah Lee, said the windows were always shut and the place always seemed closed.

Law enforcement sources said they were trying to find a suspect, described as a bald, heavy-set man wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans and construction boots. The Department of Buildings' website lists an open complaint against the address, filed Thursday. It alleges the business was an adult establishment violating zoning laws.

Police have not released the victim's name, and the investigation is ongoing.
