Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department homicide detectives were investigating after a woman's body was found in the San Gabriel Mountains above Azusa on Saturday, Nov. 24, authorities said.
About 1:15 p.m., homicide detectives were called to East Fork Road a little more than a mile east of San Gabriel Canyon Road to investigate the death of the woman, Deputy Armando Viera Jr said.
In a Saturday night statement, the Sheriff's Department said it appeared the woman had suffered blunt force trauma. Her body was found by a resident who had been out for a walk. The body was in a culvert adjacent to a roadway turnout, the statement said.
In the early stage of the investigation, the woman wasn't immediately identified and there was no suspect description or other information.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be made by calling LA Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
