Pittsfield Township police said they are investigating after a woman was found shot to death Thursday morning in a parking lot just south of Briarwood Mall and north of the Ann Arbor Municipal Airport. 

According to police, they confirmed a woman was found shot to death on Plaza Drive, which is part of a business park just off of I-94 north of Ellsworth Road.

The victim is a 50-year-old Plymouth resident but no further details were released.
