BALTIMORE — The Baltimore Police Department is investigating a suspicious death after human remains were found in West Baltimore on Tuesday.
Just before 5 p.m., officers were called to the 800 block of Fremont Avenue to investigate a reported DOA.
They said the remains appeared to have been at the location for some time.
Neighbors who didn’t want to be identified said they were in close proximity when police made the discovery and the body was inside a container.
“ I didn’t want to see it and I didn’t want to smell it. We could smell it once they took the top off. The smell just hit you, so I came in the house,” the neighbor said.
Although neighbors aren’t scared of the area, after learning a body was sitting so close for so long, some people are considering relocating.
“It’s time for me to get my kids up out of here because I have kids that run around and play on the lot. It’s time for us to go,” one person said.
The Medical Examiner's Office will conduct an autopsy to identify the body and determine the cause of death.
Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 410-396-2411 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.
