A Bronx woman was found dead in her apartment Wednesday - and detectives are searching for her husband, who disappeared after the crime, sources said.

Tyshi Benson, 37, had an injury to her head and puncture wounds on her body when she was found in the bedroom of her Bruckner Blvd. home in Longwood about 12:30 p.m., sources said.

Investigators have been looking for her husband, Sydney Benson, but he has been missing since the gruesome discovery, the sources said.

"I'm shocked," said family friend Ernie Jernigan, 49. "I don't believe this happened."

Jernigan said he had a few beers with his pal Sydney Benson the night before.

"He's a good guy," he said. "He tried to provide for his family."

The couple had been married for about 10 years and shared two children, ages 5 and 10. No one has been charged.
