On September 3, 2018, at approximately 7:11 am, officers were dispatched to the 900 block of Acosta Plaza for report of a person lying on the ground, possibly deceased. When officers arrived, they located a 29-year-old female suffering from at least one gunshot wound. She had obvious signs of death, so she was not transported to a local hospital. Detectives were called to investigate the case. At this point, we have no indications this is gang related, but we are not disregarding it as a motive. The victim's name is being withheld until the immediate family can be notified.
