DETROIT (WWJ) – Was she struck by a vehicle, or perhaps something more sinister?
Detroit police are trying to sort out conflicting reports of how a woman in her 30s died on the city’s west side.
The incident unfolded around 10:30 p.m. Thursday in the area of West Grand Boulevard and Linwood Street, not far from one of the city’s high schools.
Investigators have received conflicting reports of either a hit-and-run or the victim possibly being pushed out of a moving vehicle.
Police say officers observed broken glass, blood and a pair of boots at the scene.
The victim is an unidentified Hispanic woman, believed to be in her 30s.
She was taken to Henry Ford Hospital where she died in the emergency room.
The suspect is unknown, but could possibly be driving a black sedan.
An investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact police at 313-267-4600.
Her name was Anne Waters. I am her daughter. She was 58 years of age, not in her 30’s. (although she would’ve appreciated that). She aged well. Italian & Native American not Hispanic. I was informed the following morning at 7:30am that she left the house the night before and never came home. By 8:30am I myself found her. Then within hours was able to identify her body. So she did not go unidentified for long! “Ma” as everyone called her was loved by soo many. She was the Mother of myself & younger brother. Grandmother of 5. And Great Grandmother of 1. She will be missed dearly. Rip Ma. Love Lil Anne Aka “Banan”
