Detectives observed a puncture wound to the right side of her neck and tire tracks leading up to the body, police said. She has been identified as 27-year-old Sheevonne Hensley-Hicks. A cause of death remains pending. Police are not calling this one a homicide right now.
The second woman was found about 5 p.m. in a garage in the 4500 block of 28th Street. Police said she was found inside two black trash bags. Two people were looking for a stolen work trailer in the area, police said, when one of them needed to urinate and went into the garage, where he found the woman dead.
She has been identified as 36-year-old Carissa Oakman. The cause of death has been ruled "smothering," police said, meaning this is a homicide case.
