North Port police descended on an apartment complex on Greenwood Avenue Wednesday morning after a person was found dead, prompting a heavy law enforcement presence as investigators combed the scene. The case is being treated as an active death investigation, but authorities have not released the victim's name or how the person died.
According to Tampa Bay 28, officers were called to the Grande Court Apartments on Greenwood Avenue, where the North Port Police Department confirmed it was working a death investigation. The department told the outlet there is "no threat to the public" as detectives continue their work.
Where It Happened
Industry listings identify the complex as Grande Court Apartments at 5203 Greenwood Avenue in North Port, as noted by Yardi Matrix. The property is listed as a 100-plus unit rental community serving the surrounding neighborhood.
Police Activity and Local Context
North Port police have been busy with several separate death investigations this year and often push out early alerts on social media while those cases are still unfolding. For instance, WWSB reported on an April death investigation on Brassy Loop that stayed active for some time and eventually led to an arrest in an unrelated case.
The investigation on Greenwood Avenue remains active, and officials say updates will be released when they can share more. Anyone with information can find contact details for the North Port Police Department Records Section through the city’s website.
