Kimon Felix, a 25-year-old black woman from Detroit, was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on Sunday, her mother tells the Detroit Free Press.
Felix had struggled with depression and anxiety for years, and her mother says she was found by a friend after she failed to show up at her grandmother's house.
She was also found with a loaded gun on her person, and police are investigating.
Felix's death is being treated as a homicide, but police haven't released any other details, and the Free Press notes that Detroit is one of the largest US cities with a large black population that doesn't have a coroner's office.
