Woman Found Fatally Stabbed in Queens Massage Parlor

Police found the woman inside a building on 164th Street in Flushing at about 4:30 p.m. on November 6. The location was identified as a massage parlor near Crocheron Avenue. She had several knife injuries across her head and torso, and medical personnel confirmed she had died at the location. Her identity and age had not been released that evening.

Investigators were seeking a heavyset man described as about 6-foot-2, sources said. He was seen leaving the establishment carrying a garbage bag and was last described as wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans and yellow construction boots. Police had made no arrests, and the motive remained under investigation.

Residents described the surrounding area as generally quiet. One woman who lives nearby said the killing made her more cautious, while a worker on the block said the business often appeared closed, though people still went in and out. Police were continuing to investigate.
