The victim in last week’s homicide at Beacon Hill Park has been identified as a 46-year-old mother.
The body of Bree Sara Gamble (also known as Brianna Lozano) was discovered last Wednesday, March 3rd along the road on Dallas Road, on the south side of Beacon Hill Park.
Family members said she was not homeless nor a drug addict. She also had a 17-year-old daughter.
Shortly after 6 a.m. last Wednesday, March 3rd VicPD were called to the park for reports of an unresponsive person.
VicPD officers along with paramedics performed CPR on the woman, but she was confirmed deceased at the scene. Her death was ruled a homicide one week later.

- Lower Cook Street near Beacon Hill Park

- Dallas Road between Douglas Street and St Charles Street
- The area of Fort Street and Foul Bay Road
Additionally, a map of the areas in which investigators are looking for information is below.
