A man has been arrested in connection with the death of a woman found near a freeway fence in Egger Highlands, San Diego Police officials said Thursday.
Cheri Dillon-Casey, 61, of San Diego was found dead Tuesday in an encampment behind a commercial complex.
Officers discovered her body lying in grass and shrubs near the fence between the Southland Plaza Shopping Center and the Palm Avenue offramp from southbound Interstate 5.
She had blunt force visible on her chest and stomach, officials said.
An autopsy led investigators to believe her death was a homicide and they listed the victim's boyfriend as a person-of-interest.
