A woman’s body was found shot to death in a ditch on Christmas Eve, according to Roswell police.

Officers were called to the area of Azalea Drive near Atlanta Street around 3:15 p.m. after a passerby reported seeing a possibly deceased person, officials said.

When police arrived, they found the woman near the road and confirmed that she had died, according to authorities. Investigators then noticed she had suffered at least one gunshot wound.

Detectives do not believe the woman was killed at the location where her body was found and are working to determine the original crime scene.

No other details have been released by police.
