Her cause and manner of death have not been determined, according to Montgomery County Coroner Kent Harshbarger.
Dayton police are continuing to investigate Burney’s death.
“We are not sure if the person was placed there or if the situation happened there,” Sgt. Creigee S. Coleman said.
She had a gunshot wound to her upper torso, he said. Police declined to release additional details at this time.
“At this point we need the public to come forward and let us know and tell us what they saw, if they saw anything late at night or even in the day,” Coleman said.
Anyone with information is urged to call Dayton police at 937-333-COPS or Miami Valley Crime Stoppers at 937-222-STOP to remain anonymous.
