Family identifies young woman found fatally shot in home owned by Rep Ayanna Pressley's husband

Boston police say the victim died from a single gunshot wound as homicide detectives continue investigating the Mattapan rental home.

  • On Saturday, Boston police discovered 18-year-old Yoseliani Marte fatally shot inside a Mattapan rental property owned by Conan Harris, husband of Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, following a walk-in report at 1:52 p.m.
  • Spokespeople for Pressley clarified the couple does not reside at the two-unit rental property, which is currently listed for sale for $1.15 million and generated between $50,000 and $100,000 in rental income last year.
  • Marte's family identified her via a GoFundMe campaign, stating her death resulted from domestic violence, while the Boston Police Homicide Unit has retained jurisdiction over the active investigation pending forensic testing.
  • A neighbor noted that police previously raided the building approximately two months ago, contrasting with the typically quiet Mattapan area where officers discovered the victim in a rear bedroom with a single gunshot wound.
  • Pressley, a vocal advocate for housing assistance, expressed condolences regarding the tragedy as the property, assessed at more than $919,000 this year, remains under investigation to determine the specific circumstances of the fatal shooting.
