A 20-year-old Ansonia woman died Sunday afternoon after she was found seriously injured near Coe Lane.
Police initially were called to the scene for a report that the woman had been hit by a car that fled the area, but the first arriving officers found she had serious upper body injuries consistent with an assault, not a vehicle, police said.
The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner was investigating Monday the cause and manner of the woman’s death and Ansonia police consider it a homicide. Police will release more information about the case at a 4 p.
