GAINESVILLE — Authorities say they are investigating the death of a Gainesville teen whose body was found in the woods behind her apartment complex as a homicide.
Sgt. Kiley Sargent with the Hall County Sheriff's Department said on Monday that 16-year-old Hannah Truelove received injuries that "were indicative that she died from a violent death."
No other details were released.
Truelove's body was found Friday night. Sargent told the newspaper that authorities don't believe it was a random assault and have information that Truelove may have known her attacker.
Grief counselors were on hand at Gainesville High School, and a moment of silence was held for Truelove at the campus on Monday.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has been assisting in the investigation.
