Rebecca Payne Found Dead in Mission Hill

Rebecca Payne, a 22 years of female Northeastern University student of New Milford, Conn., was found dead in her Mission Hill apartment at 170 Parker Hill Ave yesterday morning, according to the Boston Globe, who confirmed her identity through her father.

Her apartment door was left opened and she was shot in both legs and in the chest, police and a source said.

Investigators still are trying to determine whether Rebecca Payne of Connecticut was randomly targeted and robbed, or knew her assailant, a police source said.

City Councilor Michael Ross insisted Mission Hill is an “extremely safe community.”

“It’s very unusual for this area,” Deputy Superintendent Thomas Lee said. “This is a very safe neighborhood.”
