The victim's body was located inside her first-floor apartment on the 3900 block of North Fifth Street.
A 50-year-old woman was found stabbed to death inside her apartment Thursday afternoon in the city’s Hunting Park section, police said.
A 23-year-old man also was killed Thursday night in Kensington.
Just after 3 p.m., Philadelphia Fire Department personnel responded to a medical alarm at a first-floor unit on the 3900 block of North Fifth Street, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
No one answered the front door, so the emergency crew forced their way in and discovered the woman lying on the bedroom floor naked with multiple stab wounds to her chest, Small said.
She was pronounced dead at the scene at 3:41 p.m.
There was no one else in the apartment, Small said.
No arrests were reported.
Around 8:15 p.m., a 23-year-old man was fatally wounded in a shooting outside on the 600 block of East Indiana Avenue, police said.
The victim, who was not identified, was taken by police to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 8:38 p.m.
Police reported no arrests.
