Police Hope Tattoo Will Help Identify Dead Woman Found Near Brooklyn Roadway

An unknown woman died near a roadway in Brooklyn last month, and now police are hoping a tattoo on her leg will help them identify her.

The woman, believed to be in her mid-20s to mid-40s, was found unconscious in the area around Shore Parkway and 26th Avenue in Gravesend on March 22.

EMS was unable to save her and she was pronounced dead at the scene that evening. 

The woman had a tattoo on her right leg, which investigators believe was the name "Monique" within a heart and rose.

The woman's cause of death remains unknown and will be determined by a medical examiner.

Anyone with information about the woman is asked to contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or NYPDcrimestoppers.com.
