Atlanta police are looking for two men last seen with the death of a 19-year-old woman found naked in a park.
The two men were last seen with Bridget Shiel at a Shell gas station in Rockbridge Road and Memorial Drive about 11:30 p.m. May 30.
Shiel was found dead and naked in a grassy area near a basketball court at Oakland City Park about 6:50 a.m. May 31, police said. She had multiple gunshot wounds on her back, buttocks and legs.
A resident near the park called 911 about 1 a.m. May 31 about gun shots nearby, police said. It was thought that Shiel was shot somewhere else and dumped at the park.
Witnesses told police she was with the two men and sitting in the passenger side of her car and against her own will.
“We don’t feel, based on what witnesses said, she was there willingly, and these two males may be perpetrators of this crime,” Det. Vince Velazquez said in a press conference Friday.
One of the men with Shiel looked to be between 20 and 30 years old with a goatee and wearing a white T-shirt. Police said there was no clear description of the other man.
Police found Shiel's car June 1 behind King's Southern Delight restaurant on Redan Road in DeKalb County.
While there is no evidence of sexual assault, “we have to suspect there was at least some kind of attempt,” Velazquez said.
Services for Shiel will be noon Saturday at the Cathedral of Grace Apostolic Church in Alpharetta. A GoFundMe was created to help with funeral costs.
