ATLANTA - Investigators said they had to use facial reconstruction to try to identify a woman killed last week in northwest Atlanta.

Atlanta Police released a photo of that reconstruction completed by a NCMEC Forensic Artist. The victim was found dead in the area of 1700 block of Hortense Place NW last Thursday morning.

Police describe the victim as between 16 and 22 years old with short straight black hair, brown eyes, a medium build, about 5’7” in height, and weighed about 179 pounds.

The victim was wearing a black nylon Adidas warm-up jacket, a blue and white striped shirt, black denim jeans, multi-colored socks, and pink Nike flip-flops.

A red flora scarf was found underneath the woman’s body and may have been worn over her head. Her earlobes were pierced twice.

Investigators said the woman had multiple scars on her left thigh and a scar on her left ankle.

Please share out if you are in the Atlanta or surrounding areas, or know people who are. The case isn't getting a lot of media attention -- the Telegraph ran something based off of a FB share mainly that's the first non-local media piece about this poor child.

The officer's interview explained they don't think she was homeless -- she was well-groomed and nourished. But no purse or backpack was found with her, and she didn't even have any receipts in her pockets to try to go to those businesses and get even blurry photos of her in life.

She was shot multiple times at close range in the face and torso. The lack of anything useful for identification on her body and shots to the face could indicate she knew her murderer, as most murder victims do.

She's someone's daughter. Please help her get her name back. Thank you.
