Palmetto police today identified the woman found shot to death in the south Fulton County city late last week as Latonya Morris-Figg.

An autopsy determined that Morris-Figg, 45, had been shot in the head and throat, according to Palmetto police Sgt. Lee Gragg.

The Stone Mountain woman’s body was found Thursday along the woodline off Williams Road in Palmetto, Gragg said.

Palmetto detectives and the GBI are following up on several leads, but anyone with information on the case is asked to call Gragg at 770-463-9068.
