OKLAHOMA CITY — A woman found in the roadway on S. Shields near S.W. 57th St. January 6 is being counted as a victim of a crash of some sort.
Police have now identified the victim and notified next of kin.
Carolyn Sue Aycox-Skaggs, 49, was found by officers with the Oklahoma City Police Department (OKCPD) at 10:38 p.m. on Friday, January 6 near the intersection of South Shields and S.E. 57th Street.
The woman was transported to a local hospital where she was pronounced dead.
According to Lt. Jeff Cooper with OKCPD, 911 started receiving multiple calls Friday night January 6 around 10:30 p.m. about “something in the roadway.”
Officers who first arrived found Aycox-Skaggs lying in the street, showing signs of having been run over multiple times.
That weekend, Cooper would not confirm that the woman was a victim of a hit-and-run, only that she had been run over multiple times by drivers who may not have realized that it was a body in the street and not just debris.
As of January 19, the term “hit-and-run” is still not being used by OKCPD.
However, according to PIO MSgt Gary Knight, detectives have a suspect in the death, but charges have not been filed as of Thursday, Jan. 19.
