Boston Police report that while they continue to look for the killer of Carlos Romero Franco, 31, shot in the face on Oct. 16 at 598 Harvard St., they are now also looking into the ownership of heroin worth an estimated $1 million at the same location.

Police records show that a few hours after Franco's death was reported, a resident of the building was arrested and charged with heroin trafficking. Police did not say if the arrest and Franco's death are connected. In addition to the heroin, police say they also found a gun and cash.
