Woman found dead in the street in SW Detroit

DETROIT (WJBK) - A woman's body was found face down in the street, left for dead at Campbell and Anthon in Detroit.

She was discovered just before 4 a.m. Wednesday in southwest Detroit. Police say she was wearing black pants and a black jacket - but don't know who she is or how she died.

Investigators say she may have been dumped there. A fanny pack and wallet found less than a block away from the body.

Neighbor Robert Smith is wondering what happened. He recalled that in August - another woman's body was found nearby at Fort and Junction. That woman was run over, the victim of a hit and run driver.

But Wednesday the investigation is focused on Anthon and Campbell - where crime scene technicians are taking measurements, taking photos, and taking evidence off the street - in this case a cigarette butt - it could be something - or nothing at all related to this crime.

Investigators say it was covered up by snow.

Neighbors hope police find out who the victim is and who's responsible for her death.
