Posted

ATLANTA (AP) - Authorities have increased the reward offered for information on the death of a 19-year-old woman whose body was found naked with multiple gunshot wounds in an Atlanta park last month.

Atlanta City Council member Cleta Winslow said at a news conference Monday that a $10,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible for killing Bridget Shiel.

Police believe Shiel was shot and killed at Oakland City Park on the city's south side. Her body was discovered in the park on May 31.

Atlanta police have not named a suspect but say Shiel was seen the night before with two men.
