A Myrtle Beach woman has died after what police describe as a brutal attack in her vehicle in the early morning Oct. 11.
Starlet Renae Jackson, 59, died of injuries she received near the 800 block of Nance Street, according to a press release Sunday from the Horry County Coroner’s Office.
The case is being investigated as a homicide, the release said.
Myrtle Beach Police responded to 840 Nance St. about 4:09 a.m. in regards to an assault, a police report said. Officers found the victim with a laceration on the right side of her face. She was still breathing and conscious, but unresponsive to questioning, the report said.
The woman was transported to the hospital, where she later died.
Officers spoke to a person who was sleeping next to where the crime took place, but the person said they did not hear any yelling or confrontation coming from the area the vehicle was located, the report said.
The report indicated that a knife or a cutting instrument was used in the attack.
A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered by Crime Stoppers of the Low Country for information in the case.
Police are asking those who have information to the incident to call the non-emergency number at 843-918-1382 and reference case number 23-018184.
