Woman whose body was found near park identified

The woman whose body was found Tuesday near Clark County Wetlands Park has been identified by the coroner’s office.

The body of 36-year-old Sherry Mitchell was found tangled in branches and partially submerged in water. The cause and manner of her death are still pending. Luther King Boulevard, about 8:50 a.m., police said. The man, who police said appeared to be in his 40s, was taken to University Medical Center with critical injuries, but his vitals have stabilized.

The truck’s driver stayed at the scene and cooperated with investigators, police said. The driver was not ticketed.

Franklin is accused of fatally shooting 23-year-old Ryan Flowers of Pittsburg, California. Police said Flowers was fatally shot outside the Four Queens early Nov. 29.

Franklin faces one count of open murder, court records show.
