BROWNSTOWN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WJBK) -- A Brownstown Township mother was brutally killed in her own home. Investigators have now identified a person of interest and say an arrest could come very soon.
"She was just a real quiet woman, kept her house up real nice," said neighbor Tim Reaid.
However, the house that was once known for its beautiful flowers is now surrounded by crime tape, a frightening reminder of what happened inside Tuesday night.
46-year-old Zita Kvasys was murdered. Investigators believe it happened shortly after she got home from work around 6:00 p.m. Her body wasn't discovered until Wednesday afternoon.
"The daughter called couple of times checking on the mom because she hadn't answered her phone, and I guess the daughter sent a friend over there and the friend found her," said neighbor Lori Rose.
Police say Kvasys was shot to death. They have questioned both her ex-husband and her boyfriend. Neighbors say she seemed to have a good relationship with both.
"Her ex-husband used to come around and cut her grass every once in a while," Reaid told us.
Meanwhile, the neighborhood hopes officers make an arrest very soon.
"My girlfriend, she's freaking out. She wouldn't even take a shower last night until I (came) home," Reaid said.
"Scary because it happened right next door to us," said Rose.
Investigators planned to head back to the victim's home Thursday evening to gather more evidence.
