Woman found dead in Tamarac home was murdered, officials say

TAMARAC — A woman found dead inside a home Wednesday in Tamarac was murdered, officials said Thursday.

A 911 caller reported unresponsive woman in a home near the 9300 block of Northwest 57th Street in Tamarac, according to the Broward Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies and Tamarac Fire Rescue arrived about 3 p.m. Wednesday and declared the woman dead.

The woman’s name is being withheld due to Marsy’s Law, a 2018 constitutional amendment that allows crime victims to shield their name and personal information.

Homicide unit and crime scene detectives are investigating the circumstances of the woman’s death, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said, and the Broward Medical Examiner’s Office will determine the cause and manner of death.

Deputies said the woman found dead Wednesday and the murder-suicide nearby Thursday morning in Tamarac aren’t related.

Information that leads to an arrest for the woman found dead could be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Ian Kuechler at 954-321-4200, submit a tip through the SaferWatch App, submit a tip online at www.browardcrimestoppers.org, or dial **TIPS (8477) from a cell phone.
