Police Identify Woman Killed In Oakland Park Break-In
OAKLAND PARK (CBSMiami) – A call to police Tuesday about a burglary led deputies to a woman's body inside an Oakland Park apartment.
Police have identified the victim as 19-year-old Nicole Franco.
Around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, the sheriff's office received a call about the burglary at the Bridgewater Apartments at 2800 NW 44th Street but did not give an exact location.
During the search of the gated complex they found a unit that appeared to have been broken into.
"They found an open sliding glass door, they called inside and received no answer from any resident. So they went into the apartment and conducted a search and inside they found the body of an adult female who had been killed," said BSO's Dani Moschella.
Residents of the complex were shocked Tuesday when they heard about what had happened. Danielle Hoover said her sister heard a loud noise in the middle of the night and wondered if it was related to the woman's murder.
"She was sleeping, she woke up, she heard a bang and just didn't think anything of it because there's a lot of activity that goes on here, so she went back to sleep," said Hoover.
Investigators have not said if anything was taken from the apartment or how the woman died.
