"Police have opened a homicide investigation into the death of an 18-year-old Bronx woman who was found with a fatal gunshot wound inside a Hell's Kitchen public housing complex early Sunday, authorities said. The victim, identified as Kimberly Olmos, of the University Heights portion of the Bronx, was discovered around 12:45 a.m. on November 2 inside the Harborview Terrace at 520 West 55th Street, according to the NYPD."
"Officers responding to a 911 call for an assault in progress found Olmos in a stairwell with a single gunshot wound to the head. A firearm was recovered at the scene, according to police sources familiar with the case, noting that only one shot was fired. Olmos was taken by EMS to Mount Sinai Morningside, where she was pronounced dead. The city's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner later ruled the death a homicide."
"The Daily News reports that investigators are considering the possibility that Olmos had been walking down the stairs with a friend who was handling the gun, and that it accidentally discharged, fatally striking her. The 18-year-old's father told the same paper that he had been concerned about the people she was hanging out with. Olmos' death has left family and friends reeling."
