A woman was found dead inside a car Friday morning, according to John Elder, Minneapolis Police Department spokesperson.

According to Elder, two police chiefs were flagged down while on patrol. They were told that a woman might be dead inside a car by North Bryant and 17th avenues.

Once they arrived at the scene, the officers found a car in the middle of the road with a woman inside on the back seat. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene.

They believe the woman to be in her 30s and stated that they see trauma to the body, said Elder.

The woman was the only person in the car.
