6/9/2003

The death of Crystal Hunt of 919 Forest Ave., whose body was found Saturday morning in her car in front of her home, has been ruled a homicide caused by a gunshot wound to the neck, Dr. Cynthia Beisser, deputy Lucas County coroner, said.

An autopsy was performed yesterday. A neighbor had found the body of the 39-year-old woman about 9 a.m. Saturday slumped over in the driver's seat of her car.

Police issued a warrant yesterday for the arrest of Daryl Mickles, 46, in connection with the case. No further information was available late last night.
