A Columbus woman was shot in the back and killed early Saturday, police said.

Diane Patricia Norman, 49, was pronounced dead at 5:50 a.m., said Muscogee County Deputy Coroner Charles Newton.

About 30 minutes prior, police were called to Garden Drive, which is in between Andrews and Cusseta roads. A passing driver had spotted the body in the street and called 911.

Columbus Police Lt. Charles Kennedy said when police arrived, they found Norman with a single gunshot wound to her back. As of Saturday, no suspects had been identified and no arrests had been made yet.

Norman�s body was sent to Atlanta for an autopsy. Newton said those results should be available Monday.
