A 19-year-old woman found dead early Wednesday in Bethlehem’s South Side has been identified.
Northampton County Coroner Zachary Lysek identified the victim as Teayahe Glover. She died of multiple gunshot wounds and Lysek ruled the manner of death as homicide.
Lysek said Glover lives in the city’s South Side, but declined to specify where.
Police Chief Mark DiLuzio said shots rang out at 1:43 a.m. at Fiot and Sioux streets. Glover was found on the ground about two blocks from where shots were fired, he said.

Police and rescue squad workers attempted CPR but were unable to revive Glover. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police have released few details about what may have led to the shooting and have not said whether they have a suspect in custody. Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli also declined comment if a suspect has been taken into custody.
Neighbors Wednesday were stunned to learn about the killing. The houses along Sioux Street are across from Holy Ghost Cemetery in the typically quiet neighborhood.
“Not too often (is there police activity),” said a 53-year-old man, who declined to give his name. “There’s the occasional broken window and some (criminal mischief). But it’s fairly decent.”
Anyone with information about the shooting should call Bethlehem Police Detective Christopher Beebe at 610-997-7681 or 610-865-7187. Calls can be confidential.
