At Approximately 5:30 AM, Erie Police received a call from someone who was taking a walk for a foul smell coming from an Abandoned building on the 2700 block of Downing Avenue in the Burton Heights neighborhood of East Erie. Erie Police arrived a few minutes later to investigate the building to find a decomposing body. Erie County Coroner roughly identified the body as a adult male possibly in his 30’s. Erie Police then quickly treated this as a possible murder or homicide case. After further investigating, police found a pool of blood in the garage by the abandoned house and police believe that’s where the victim was killed then dragged into the attic of the house. Erie Police had Downing Avenue blocked off from East 27th to East 28th Street until they got the scene cleared up. Erie Police are still investigating on what exactly has happened and will also work on identifying who the body is, but Erie Police believe that it’s a huge chance that it was the missing 34 year old man Deonte Adams of East Erie. Deonte lived on the 1900 block of Woodlawn Avenue in Burton only a few blocks down from the abandoned house. Erie Police will continue to investigate.
