A gruesome scene was discovered Tuesday morning as a woman was found on a sidewalk with a gunshot wound to her head.
The incident took place in the Strawberry Mansion neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pa.
The discovery is the 85th reported homicide by police this year, which is 11 percent more than by this date last year.
Officers responded to the scene early Tuesday morning after receiving multiple 911 calls about a shooting.
The 35-year-old victim lived half a block away from the shooting scene, according to Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The 35-year-old woman was found bleeding and unresponsive, according to police. Responding officers rushed her to Temple University Hospital where she was pronounced dead at 4:31 a.m.
There was no identification on the victim so, at this time, she is listed as a Jane Doe.
“Chief Inspector Scott Small said the only items at the scene were a set of car keys near her body. No shell casings or ballistic evidence was found near her, according to Small,” FOX 29 reports.
Police believe at least five bullets were discharged, because several homes on the street had bullet holes. Thankfully no one was harmed by the bullets that hit the nearby homes.
Investigators are still working to locate the shooter and said they will be checking home surveillance video in the area.
