City garbage workers Tuesday afternoon discovered the body of a woman lying on the side of a dirt road who had been fatally shot in the Altgeld Gardens neighborhood.
It was about 12:15 p.m. as the truck traveled its regular route in the 600 block of East 134th Place when workers spotted her, lying “on the side of the dirt road in a prone position with multiple shell casings around her and multiple gunshot wounds to the victim’s body,” a police report said.
