Anaheim Police Department and Anaheim Fire & Rescue personnel responded about 3 a.m. Tuesday to the 2100 block of West Crescent Avenue to investigate a report of a woman who was unconscious and bleeding at the location.
"Upon arrival, they located a deceased woman, 43-year-old Jessica Elaine Crummel of Anaheim, inside a tent in a large unoccupied field on the north side of the street," said Anaheim police spokesman Sgt. Matt Sutter.
The initial investigation found the death to be a homicide, he said.
Crummel was possibly living out of a tent at the time she was killed, Sutter said.
