Police want to know whether the woman was shot inside the park or shot somewhere else and then simply left in the park. Police are still not sure how long the woman’s body was there before it was found.
Police are not releasing the woman’s name, but said the investigation is ongoing.
Channel 2's Audrey Washington spoke to people who live nearby and are on edge.
“It’s just sad. This is, like, five minutes from my house," neighbor Tre Jackson said.
