On Friday, July 18, 2025, 40-year-old Nicole Azzoto, a female, was found deceased in a residence on Glass Terrace in Syracuse, New York. Syracuse Police officers had responded to the home at approximately 2:27 p.m. to conduct a welfare check, which led to the discovery of her body. Due to the suspicious nature of her death, the Syracuse Police Criminal Investigations Division's Homicide Unit immediately began an investigation.
The investigation quickly led to a suspect, 56-year-old
Anthony Price of Syracuse. He was located at the Glass Terrace residence on the same day Ms. Azzoto's body was found and was taken into custody for questioning. Following the interview, Price was arrested and charged with Murder in the Second Degree. He was subsequently booked into the Onondaga County Justice Center.
Further details emerged, revealing that a witness had reportedly overheard an argument and a gunshot at the residence on Thursday, July 17, 2025, the day before Ms. Azzoto was found. However, this witness did not immediately report the incident to the police. While authorities have not officially disclosed the specific manner of her death or the nature of the relationship between Azzoto and Price, the case is being investigated as a homicide. Police have indicated that additional charges against Price may be forthcoming as the investigation continues.
