22-Year-Old Found Dead in Spring Valley

Homicide detectives are investigating the death of a 22-year-old woman in Spring Valley, according to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

First responders arrived at a home in the 9100 of Circulo Margen around 9:30 a.m. Saturday. They discovered the victim, Victoria Lynn Lyman, with “visible signs of traumatic injury,” the sheriff’s department said.

Paramedics performed CPR and transported Lyman to Grossmont Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Officials did not comment on the nature of Lyman’s injuries and said it’s unclear if those injuries even contributed to her death. The San Diego County Medical Examiner will perform an autopsy and toxicology tests to determine how the young woman died, which could take several weeks.

Investigators are interviewing the woman's husband and roommate, who officials said were both home when she was found dead.

Most neighbors told NBC 7 they had only seen Lyman in passing.

"I'm absolutely shocked. For 33 years, we certainly have not had anything like this happen," said resident Darlene Holland. "Most people when they would come to visit, their first comment is 'it's so quiet here' because it is. It's always been so quiet."
