An autopsy has deemed the cause of a death in Red Deer this week to be homicide.

RCMP, who say they continue to investigate, have also identified the victim as 30-year-old Reichel Alpeche of Red Deer. Facebook posts from friends and family say she moved to Canada from the Phillipines at the age of 21.

Her autopsy was completed on Feb. 2, police say.

RCMP provided this photo of 30-year-old Red Deer resident Reichel Alpeche, who died in this incident Feb. 2.

Investigation has thus far determined that Reichel interrupted the alleged theft of her vehicle, and as a result, died from injuries sustained when the suspect fled in her vehicle.
