RICHMOND, Calif. -- Police said a Discovery Bay woman who was fatally shot last Thursday night at Booker T. Anderson Jr. Park in Richmond has been identified.

Officers responded to a ShotSpotter gunshot detection system alert at 960 S. 47th St. around 8:45 p.m.

The victim was dropped off at a hospital while police were still en route, and she later died of her wounds.

The victim has been identified as 20-year-old Alexandrea Sweitzer, according to the Contra Costa County coroner's office.
