Chantae Turner, the realtor who is selling the property, said it went on the market about a month ago.
The same tenants had been living in the house for “a while,” she said.Turner said she didn’t know any details about what happened Saturday.
“It sounds unfortunate, though,” she said. Turner declined to comment further about the circumstances or the seller of the house.
A spokesperson for Pressley declined to comment according to the news outlet. Harris was reportedly at a Roxbury library event that morning delivering remarks on her behalf.
