The woman's name wasn't immediately released, and it's unclear at this time when she was shot to death.
"It's awful. I mean, it's something I never experienced before," Giuseppe Moretta, a neighbor, told WJAR-TV. "She was always alone. Never had any company. Never saw a car there."
This was an isolated incident and ruled a homicide by the Medical Examiner's Office, police said.
No arrests have been made.
