BROOKLYN — A 24-year-old woman was found shot to death in the basement of her Brownsville home early Wednesday, police said.

Cops discovered Kazan Raoul shortly before 6:30 a.m. at 2242 Strauss St., the NYPD said.

She had bullet wounds to her face and neck, a police source said.

Paramedics rushed the victim to Brookdale Hospital, where she was pronounced dead, police said.

There was no one home when cops found Raoul, police added.

No one has been arrested in the incident, police said. Cops searching the scene recovered at least four shell casings, they noted.

The Strauss Street home is located across the street from a school building, where P.S. 631 and I.S. 634 are housed.

Police said an investigation is ongoing.
