Arriving officers found an African American female in a field off the street. Memphis Fire Dept. paramedics were called to the scene and pronounced the woman dead.

The victim later was identified as Ester Tucker and her death was ruled a homicide by the Shelby County Medical Examiner’s office. This case now is an ongoing homicide investigation and authorities need helping solving it.
