Muhammad, who lived in the 9800 block of South Harvard, was found in the 6900 block of South Wentworth at 8:02 a.m. Tuesday and was pronounced dead at the scene at 8:14 a.m., authorities said. Police initially said she appeared to have suffered a gunshot wound to the head before it was determined that she'd been hit by a vehicle.

An autopsy Wednesday did not rule on her cause and manner of death pending further investigation.

The SUV was last seen traveling south on Wentworth from 69th with front-end damage on the passenger side. Police located the vehicle on Sunday.
