Some Park Slope neighbors are mourning after two women were found dead inside a building on Second Street Saturday night.
Police identified the women as 58-year-old Olga Bracero and 23-year-old Kayla Wilson.
Officers responded to the building just before 8 p.m. after a 911 call reported a woman had been assaulted. Police say Bracero was found unconscious with multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to a police source, Wilson was later found inside a bedroom. The source said her injuries appeared to be self-inflicted. The Medical Examiner will determine the official cause and manner of both deaths.
Video obtained by News 12 shows blood smeared along hallway walls and up a staircase inside the building.
On Monday, candles, flowers and balloons sat outside the building as neighbors stopped to pay their respects.
Some neighbors told News 12 they believe Bracero and Wilson were mother and daughter, though police have not officially confirmed their relationship.
Family friend Deshawn Jackson said he spoke with Wilson just days before her death.
"Thursday, Kayla called me around 9:00 at night to ask me if she could come cook some food at my house," Jackson said. "I cried because she's like my niece. You know, her mother's like my sister."
Jackson described Bracero as a vegan pastry chef who was well known and loved in her community.
As the investigation continues, many questions remain unanswered. Police have not publicly discussed what happened inside the building in the hours leading up to the two deaths.
