Police need help identifying a woman who they believe was shot to death and left in the woods near a northwest Atlanta cemetery.

The woman’s body was found just before 6 p.m. Sunday in the woods at 2000 Marietta Boulevard. That address belongs to Crest Lawn Memorial Park, a cemetery at the intersection with Chattahoochee Avenue.

Officials have not shared many details but said they believe the woman was Hispanic. According to an incident report, she was between the ages of 20 and 30 and had been shot several times. It’s not clear if she was killed there or elsewhere.

They also do not know who she was, as she had no identification on her. Police released a still image from security camera footage showing the woman wearing a green Tommy Hilfiger hoodie and dark-colored leggings with sandals. Officials did not say where the footage was taken.

They’ve also released photos showing her distinctive tattoos in hopes that someone will recognize the designs. They feature an eye on her right wrist, a treble clef/musical note on her left wrist, and a bird and a floral bird tattoo on her left thigh.
