Horrified mom finds woman’s body wrapped in plastic in her son’s room
California cops have launched a homicide investigation after a horrified mom found a woman’s body wrapped in plastic in her son’s room, according to shocking reports.
The unidentified mother told police that she stumbled across the gruesome crime scene after walking into her son’s room in South Los Angeles just after 1 a.m.
Sunday to investigate a “distinct gas smell,” Fox 11 said.
Responding LAPD officers found a 20-year-old woman wrapped in plastic, KTLA said.
She was pronounced dead on the spot by paramedics.
It’s unclear how long the woman had been dead in the room.
The victim has not been identified, and there was no immediate word on her cause of death, the reports said.
Police are seeking the woman’s son, who has only been identified as a 26-year-old man, according to ABC 7 Eyewitness News.
The LAPD confirmed to The Post that officers were called to a home in the 2200 block of Wall Street in the South-Central area of South LA around 1:15 a.m. Sunday.
There had been no arrests as of late Wednesday morning, a spokesperson said.
Members of Collins’ family confirmed to The Post they had been notified by the LA County coroner of her death. It is unclear when the Mississippi native came to Los Angeles or how long she had been there.
