Miami Police have opened a homicide investigation after a woman was found dead at an apartment building in the Little River neighborhood Tuesday morning.

Officers responded to the building at 429 Northeast 82nd Street just before 8:30 a.m. in reference to an unresponsive woman, Miami Police officials said.

Chopper 6 was over the scene where crime scene tape blocked off the apartment building.

Police later identified the victim as 41-year-old Sujelry Brito. They haven't said how she died but confirmed that they are investigating her death as a homicide.

"We are talking to family members, trying to see if she had any enemies, anybody that might want her dead for any reason or if this was just something random, somebody maybe went into her apartment and killed her," Miami Police spokesman Michael Vega said.

No suspect information has been released.
