Chanell Crosby, 35, was found dead at a MARTA station Friday. She was reported missing by her family five days earlier

Five days after she was reported missing, a woman’s body was found at a MARTA station Friday evening, officials said.

Atlanta police responded to a call about an unresponsive person in the West End station on Lee Street. When they arrived just after 5:30 p.m., officers discovered who was later pronounced dead at the scene, officials said.

Crosby’s cousin, Jasma Stevenson, organized a GoFundMe page ”in memory of our dear loved one Chanell Crosby, who has left us far too soon.”

The campaign will help cover funeral costs and support Crosby’s three children, according to the post. As of Tuesday afternoon, $1,000 had been raised.

Crosby’s family reported her missing July 14 after she was last seen leaving home that day with her boyfriend as they set off on a trip to Macon, according to Channel 2 Action News.

While Crosby’s body was found on MARTA property, Atlanta police said they will lead the investigation to determine when and where the incident occurred.

Her cause of death was not shared.
