The Metropolitan Homicide Task Force is investigating the death of a 33-year-old San Diego woman whose body was found early Monday beneath two shopping carts in a Logan Heights alley.
The white female was identified Monday night as Danice Maris Galloway, according to task force spokeswoman Lt. Liz Foster.
Police said they found the woman “partially disrobed” in an alley off the 3700 block of Main Street. The cause of death was unknown Monday night and an autopsy was pending, Foster said.
Foster said the task force took the case from the police department because the woman was abandoned and partially clothed. The force includes investigators from the Sheriff’s Department, the San Diego Police Department and the county district attorney’s office.
In September, the task force was created to pool efforts to find an assailant or assailants responsible for a string of prostitute killings that began in the San Diego area in 1985. The victims have been young women, many of them prostitutes, drug users and transients.
