JERSEY CITY AND BEYOND — Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said on Thursday that a Jersey City woman found dead that morning on Logan Avenue in the city’s Marion section was killed by multiple gunshots to the head, based on a preliminary autopsy.
DeFazio said that the woman, wearing a white fleece pullover with the words “Key West” printed on the front, was discovered by police around 4 a.m. after they responded to a 911 call from a resident hearing shots fired.
DeFazio said investigators found a crumpled $20 bill in her hand but did she not have any a purse or wallet, or any identification. DeFazio said it is believed the woman did not live in the immediate area.
