LONG BEACH -- Homicide detectives are investigating the shooting death of a 27-year-old woman, whose bullet-riddled body was found in a North Long Beach parkway early Monday.
Long Beach Police were called out to assist the Long Beach Fire Department when the victim's body was found at about 6:30 a.m. in the 300 block of East 56th Street, said Nancy Pratt, a police department spokeswoman.
The victim's name was being withheld Monday pending notification of her family. Her city of residence is not known, Pratt said.
Pratt said the body was found laying in the parkway and it appeared as though she had suffered multiple gun shot wounds.
The preliminary investigation found the shooting may have happened sometime late Sunday though the body wasn't found until early Monday by a passerby.
Pratt said the motive for the slaying was unknown and the investigation is on-going.
Anyone with information is urged to call Homicide Detectives Scott Lasch and Donald Goodman at 562-570-7244.
