A tragic discovery was made in Stockton this week as a woman, initially reported missing, was found stabbed to death inside a vehicle. According to ABC10, Stockton police turned their missing person’s investigation into a homicide case following the grim find yesterday afternoon near Lido Circle and Venetian Drive.
Characterized as a woman in her 30s, she was pronounced dead at a scene that quickly evolved from one of search and hope to one of silence and investigation. As reported by CBS News Sacramento, despite the violent nature of her death, Stockton police spokesperson Officer Omer Edhah assured there was not appear to be a larger threat to the surrounding community. The name of the woman has not been released to the public, as the investigation remains sensitive and unfolds.
Homicide detectives were promptly on site following the confirmation that the body found was indeed the subject of the missing person's investigation. With no suspects or arrests announced, the details surrounding the woman’s death remain scant. FOX40 reports that the Stockton Police Department maintains that the investigation is ongoing as they delve into the circumstances that led to this unfortunate outcome.
The Stockton police are now leaning "heavily on our community members, if they saw something, to say something," as stated by Officer Edhah in an effort to gather more information, as noted by CBS News Sacramento.
