Maria Santos Flores was found with a cut to her neck at her home on 85th Street near 4th Avenue, according to cops.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The victim\u2019s 17-year-old son, and her sister, Angelica Flores, made the gruesome discovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cI came to visit her and found her like this,\u201d the heartbroken sister told The Post, as she stood outside with other family members as the group of relatives wept and hugged. \u201cShe had just come home from work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another sister, Daisy Flores, said the family was from El Salvador.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe liked to help people and she took care of her family,\u201d she said, while crying. \u201cWe don\u2019t understand what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

The victim, 36, was a bartender and worked nights at Huatulco Sports Bar in Sunset Park, the family said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police aren\u2019t telling us what happened yet,\u201d her husband Antonio Hernandez said. \u201cWe are waiting. We don\u2019t know anything. There is a suspicion that someone followed her home from work.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple has been married for three years. Their two children, 3 and 17, were home at the time of the crime, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I took the car this morning to go to work, she hadn\u2019t arrived yet,\u201d he said, explaining that he went to work at 7:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

NYPD officers placed yellow evidence markers on items on the sidewalk outside, including one that appeared to be a bloody tissue. Cops also carried evidence bags from the home to an NYPD truck.<\/p>\n

The murder marks the first in the NYPD\u2019s 68th Precinct so far this year, according to the department\u2019s crime data. The precinct serves the southwestern portion of Brooklyn, and includes Bay Ridge and Dyker Heights.<\/p>\n

The city has seen a 23% drop in murders so far this year, to 111 from 144 at this point in 2025, the data show.<\/p>\n

When The Post asked staff members at Huatulco if they knew Flores, they were not sure.<\/p>\n

However, when they learned she was Salvadoran, one coworker broke down crying.<\/p>\n

\u201cElli?\u201d she asked in tears.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe knew her as Elli Flores? She lived on 86th street?\u201d<\/p>\n

Bar owner Felipe Ortega said that Flores \u201cnever missed a day of work. Not a single day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was very responsible with her work. Reliable. Kind.\u201d<\/p>\n

He explained that her death was akin to \u201closing someone from your family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

\u201cEvery year, at the end of the year we have a celebration,\u201d Ortega said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we invite everyone. She\u2019d been working here about 3 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Papo Vazquez, a bouncer at Huatulco, told The Post that Flores \u201cwas so sweet.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cShe would come out of the cab and say hello to everybody,\u201d he continued, adding that \u201cshe was the sweetest girl. She was like a sister.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a sweetheart,\u201d Nigel Kelly, also a bouncer at Huatulco, said.\u00a0 \u201cI can\u2019t believe this happened.\u201d<\/p>\n
