A memorial service for a 19-year-old woman found naked and shot to death at an Atlanta park is set for Saturday.

The service will begin at noon at the Cathedral of Grace Apostolic Church in Alpharetta, according to Channel 2 Action News.

Bridget Shiel's body was found last Tuesday in a grassy area near the basketball court at Oakland City Park. She had multiple gunshot wounds to her back, buttocks and legs, Atlanta police Maj. Adam Lee III said.

Police believe Shiel was killed elsewhere. Lee said police aren’t certain yet when she died.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call the police.
