Body found in Berkeley, police investigation underway
An officer at the scene confirmed only that they were working on something "serious."
Berkeley police are investigating a body found in an apartment building Saturday.
Details were limited as of publication time. The Scanner was the first to report this news.
A reader asked TBS for details after seeing eight police cruisers on California Street between University Avenue and Berkeley Way at 2 p.m.
A police officer at the scene confirmed only that they were working on something "serious," but declined to share additional details, the reader said.
According to emergency dispatches reviewed by The Scanner, the Berkeley Fire Department confirmed at 1 p.m. that someone had died.
The coroner's office and homicide investigators are responding.
The Scanner will update this story as additional information becomes available.
Berkeley has not had a homicide since January 2025. (The man who was charged in that case was later freed following a self-defense argument.)
