Las Vegas police are investigating after a woman was found dead under a vehicle Tuesday in the northwest valley.

The woman’s body was discovered about 5:50 p.m. in a desert area near Oso Blanca Road and Skye Canyon Park Drive, near North Hualapai Way and West Grand Teton Drive, Metropolitan Police Department Lt. Grant Rogers said.
