NEW YORK — A 39-year-old woman was found dead, shot, inside her luxury Long Island apartment after a wellness checkup over the weekend, sparking a murder mystery in a quiet Long Island community. of Nassau, authorities say.

Cops found her body Saturday during a welfare check, authorities said, though it’s unclear who asked police to do it.
Resident Eric Greenberg called the woman “so sweet, so nice” and said it was horrifying to learn of her death.
“She was just a warm presence in this building,” Greenberg said.

An investigation into the death is ongoing.
