Johnson City police issued an alert Thursday seeking public assistance in finding a 21-year-old woman in connection to a man's stabbing death that occurred earlier this week.
Police considered Natasha Gross, 516 Grays Pointe Court, a missing person, according to a news release. She was last seen in Johnson City on Sunday.
Gross's name was on the lease of an apartment at 612 E. Pine St., where Steven Rodriguez, 41, 2 Elton St., Brooklyn, N.Y., was found stabbed to death on Tuesday.
Police said Gross was last seen driving a 2010 black Honda Lx registered to John Collins.
One neighbor, Antonio Fortune, said he saw her last week driving a white Chevrolet Tahoe.
"They've only been around here for probably a month, or a month and a half," said Fortune of Gross and Rodriguez. "They didn't speak... just hung out at the house. Nothing suspicious."
Police said Rodriguez was staying with Gross while he was in town from Brooklyn, N.Y.
Fortune said he did not hear a disturbance in the apartment building Monday night.
"We didn't hear a thing. We had all our windows open," he said.
According to police, Gross recently worked as a performer at the Mouse's Ear night club in Johnson City. Staff at the club declined to comment.
Police described Collins as being 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds and having black hair and blue eyes. Gross is also known as Natasha Collins and Star Collins, police said.
The victim had been unable to be located by friends or family, and police considered her to be endangered.
