HPD Homicide Division Detectives M. Providence and A. Herrera reported:
HPD patrol officers responded to a person down call and found the victim, later identified as Ms. Pandey, with multiple gunshot wounds inside an apartment. Paramedics pronounced her deceased at the scene.
The apartment complex staff told officers that prior to calling 911 they received an anonymous call about a body inside the apartment.
