A woman was found dead inside an apartment in Allston on Monday night and a man seen fleeing through a window was arrested shortly after.
An “unknown” 911 call for an incident on Glenville Avenue that was “likely domestic” came in at 7:48 p.m. on Monday to the Boston Police Department, according to Deputy Superintendent Paul McLaughlin.
A woman was found dead inside the apartment when officers arrived, McLaughlin said.
But as the officers were investigating the scene, a man who was also inside the home broke through a window and fled the apartment, McLaughlin said.
This led to a short foot chase through several yards and streets in the area, McLaughlin said. The man tried to steal someone’s car from the neighborhood as he fled, but was eventually tased and arrested.
As of late Monday night, Boston police were still trying to determine the relationship between the man and the woman found in the apartment.
The investigation was “very active and fluid” as of Monday night, police said, and at least one weapon was found at the scene. As of Tuesday morning, the identity of the man who was arrested and his charges were not publicly announced.
