Woman Found Stabbed to Death in Queens Massage Parlor
New York City police are investigating the fatal stabbing of an unidentified woman found naked inside a Flushing massage parlor on Friday, November 6, 2026.
The New York City Police Department (NYPD) said officers and emergency medical personnel responded to a 911 call at approximately 4:30 p.m. at 36-17 164th Street, near Crocheron Avenue.
Police and emergency medical personnel responded to 36-17 164th Street, near Crocheron Avenue, after a friend discovered the woman lying face down, unclothed and unresponsive. She had sustained multiple stab wounds to her head and body and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police Search for Suspect
Law enforcement sources described the suspect as a heavyset, bald man, approximately 6-foot-2, who was seen “kicking the door to get out of the building” while carrying a black garbage bag.
The man was reportedly wearing a black hoodie, blue jeans and yellow construction boots. Investigators were searching for him after he was seen fleeing the establishment. No arrest had been announced.
Previous Complaint Against Storefront
The storefront near the Long Island Rail Road’s Broadway station previously housed a skincare clinic that closed years ago. New York City Department of Buildings records show a complaint filed on November 5, one day before the killing, alleging that the premises operated as an illegal adult establishment in violation of zoning rules.
The complaint provides context for the business’s recent operations but does not establish any connection to the homicide.
Investigation Remains Active
Police had not publicly identified the victim or established a motive for the attack.
The medical examiner’s findings had not been released. Detectives continued investigating the fatal stabbing and the circumstances surrounding the woman’s death.
