A 40-year-old mother whose vehicle was found crashed along Interstate 70 in Missouri is being investigated as a homicide, said officials this week, according to reports.

Melissa Peskey, of South Dakota, was found shot. Officials believe someone opened fire from outside the vehicle, and they also believe that’s how she died, not from the impact of the accident, reported KELO-TV.
