Body found at home owned by 'Squad' Rep. Ayanna Pressley’s husband
Key Points:
- Boston homicide detectives are investigating after a dead body was found Saturday at a two-unit rental property in the Mattapan neighborhood owned by Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley’s husband, Conan Harris.
- Police responded to an "investigate person call" shortly before 2 p.m., discovering the body at the seven-bedroom Malta Street property, which was described as a "death investigation."
- The property, valued at over $919,000 and listed for sale about a month ago, had tenants on each floor and reportedly generated between $50,000 and $100,000 in rental income last year.
- A spokesperson for Pressley extended condolences to the impacted family, while noting no further details about the incident; the property had been raided by Boston police two months prior.
- Pressley, a member of the progressive "Squad" in Congress, has faced criticism for her wealth and her husband's past conviction for drug trafficking.
