The death of a Vancouver woman whose body was found in a transient camp in July has been ruled a homicide by the Clark County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Daytona Hudgins, 19, was strangled, the medical examiner said Tuesday. Her body was found on the morning of July 19 behind a cellphone repair business in the Rose Village neighborhood. Police were called to the 2800 block of Fort Vancouver Way, just south of East 29th Street, around 2:30 a.m. that day to investigate her death.

Detectives say she was homeless at the time of her death, according to Vancouver police spokeswoman Kim Kapp.

The Vancouver Police Department’s Major Crime Unit is investigating the case. No suspects are in custody, Kapp said Tuesday.
