Authorities with the Philadelphia Police Department determined that Carroll had been the victim of a brutal attack.
The cause of her death was ruled a homicide, resulting from being struck in the head with an object. At the time of the discovery, investigators were actively working to piece together the events that led to her untimely death, seeking to understand the motive behind the violent act and to identify any potential suspects.
In the immediate aftermath, law enforcement officials had not publicly identified any suspects or made any arrests in connection with the case.
