An 18-year-old has been named by relatives as the person found shot to death over the weekend at a rental home in Boston’s Mattapan neighborhood owned by Conan Harris, husband of US Rep. Ayanna Pressley. Her mother started a fundraiser identifying her as Yoseliani Marte and describing the death as domestic violence-related. Police have not confirmed that characterization or released an official identification.
Officers were called to the Malta Street address Saturday afternoon and found the victim with a gunshot wound. The home, listed for sale near $1.15 million, has at times been used as a business address for Harris. Neither he nor Pressley lives there.
Harris told followers on Facebook his family was unharmed. A Pressley spokesperson said the congresswoman had no connection to what happened and offered condolences to Marte’s relatives. No arrest has been announced.
