Authorities in Virginia say they are trying to identify a woman who was shot and killed on a desolate interstate off-ramp.

Capt. William B. Knott of the Dinwiddie County Sheriff's Office says a driver found the woman's body around 4:30 a.m. Friday on the rural Interstate 85 off-ramp. The woman, who was black and about 18 to 23 years old, had been shot several times.

The only witness to turn up so far is a person who reported hearing gunshots about an hour and a half before the body was found.

The woman had no identification, and investigators have been unable to figure out who she is. Knott says she had a tattoo on her shoulder with the initials "A.D.A.," and another on her leg of a large scorpion.

Anyone with information is asked to call the sheriff's office at 804-469-4550.
