Detectives have begun a murder investigation after a teenage girl was found dead on a Leeds street.
Police were called just before 6am on Saturday 28 March to reports that a young woman had been found unconscious on Kennerleigh Avenue, Austhorpe.
She was found to have suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital for medical treatment, but was pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
She was identified on Saturday 29 March as a 16-year-old girl from Cleckheaton near Bradford.
Two women aged 18, a man aged 20 and a boy aged 17 have all been arrested on suspicion of murder.
Senior Investigating Officer, Detective Chief Superintendent Marc Bowes, said: “This is an extremely complex investigation where a young woman has sadly lost her life.
“Her family have been informed and we are supporting them as they try to come to terms with what has happened.”
He added: “We are treating her death as murder and have arrested four people in connection with it.
“I am also keen to speak to anyone who was in the Kennerleigh Avenue area in the early hours of this morning, or anyone who may have seen any suspicious activity in the vicinity.”
