A woman found wrapped in sheet in a Garfield Park neighborhood alley died of an assault in a homicide, officials said.
The still-unidentified woman's body was found face down behind a trash bin in the 3000 block of West Washington Boulevard about 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Chicago police said.
Police initially said she suffered what appeared to a possible gunshot wound, trauma to her head and neck, but a Thursday autopsy determined she died from multiple injuries from an assault and her death was ruled a homicide, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
No one is in custody, and Area 3 detectives are conducting a homicide investigation.
