A missing Jackson area woman was found deceased Tuesday evening about 300 yards in a wooded area behind her home.

Captain Patrick Jacobs of the Northampton County Sheriff’s Office said 31-year-old Jasman Peele was found around 5:15 p.m. with a gunshot wound to her upper body.

There are no signs of foul play, he said.

Further investigation is ongoing, he said, declining to elaborate.

The sheriff’s office received a missing persons report shortly before 6:45 Tuesday morning in the Jackson area off Highway 158.
