Police in Jonesboro are investigating the death of a 22-year-old woman whose body was found Monday as a homicide.

Officers dispatched at about 10:30 a.m. to perform a welfare check on Cherry Street found the woman’s body in a parking area near an apartment complex, said Sally Smith, Jonesboro Police Department spokeswoman.

A Facebook post made Tuesday by the department identifies the woman as Allie Hannah of Jonesboro and states she died of a gunshot wound.

No arrests had been made late Tuesday morning, Smith said.
