DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Boston police are turning to the public for help identifying a man seen on surveillance camera leaving an apartment building in Dorchester where an elderly resident was later found stabbed to death, officials said.
Officers responding to a report of an unconscious person inside Franklin Hills Apartments on Shandon Road about 6:15 p.m. Thursday found a man in his late 70s dead in a fifth-floor apartment, police said.
