NORTHEAST MIAMI-DADE, FLA. (WSVN) - Police are investigating after, they said, a woman’s body was found on the side of Interstate 95 in Northeast Miami-Dade.
According to Miami-Dade Police, they received multiple calls of two people arguing along the highway, just after 6 a.m., Saturday.
“So basically, a car came in around 6 a.m., off I-95 northbound at Ives Dairy Road, about two people arguing on the side road, that you see behind me,” said MDPD Detective Luis Sierra. “Multiple people were actually calling as they were driving by, saying that people were arguing on the side of the road. Short time after, FHP arrives and finds a body of a deceased female on the side of the road.”
Florida Highway Patrol troopers responded to the area shortly after and found the body with no clothes.
“At this point, the female is undressed,” said Sierra. “There is a piece of clothing next to here, so I wouldn’t be able to tell you how exactly her clothes were removed, but there is some clothing next to her body.”
The body was covered with a tarp on the northbound lanes near Northwest 203rd Street, as MDPD homicide detectives took over the investigation.
Detectives combed the area for any clues and placed markers on the side of the highway.
Traffic was temporarily diverted while detectives investigated.
The identity of the woman is currently unknown.
“Right now, it’s really hard to determine what caused the injuries to the deceased female,” said Sierra. “It’s an ongoing homicide investigation. That’s why [detectives] are still here trying to piece everything together and see exactly what caused the death. FHP is just asking the public if they saw anything suspicious to please call the 305-4 police number.”
If you have any information that could help detectives with their investigation, call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a reward of up to $5,000.
