Democratic congresswoman Ayanna Pressley has spoken out after an 18-year-old woman was found shot dead at a rental property in Boston owned by her husband. The case has drawn national attention partly because of Pressley's prominence as a member of the progressive "Squad" of Democratic lawmakers, and because the property's connection to her husband has made her a focal point of media questioning despite her having no reported involvement in the incident itself.

The victim's family identified her as Yoseliani Marte, 18, and said she died as a result of domestic violence, though Boston police had not formally confirmed her identity at the time of reporting. Pressley told Fox News Digital she was "centering the victim" when asked about the shooting, which occurred on a Saturday inside the rental home. Further details of the investigation, including any suspects or the precise circumstances of the shooting, had not been released by authorities.
