On May 10th around 2:54 PM officers from the Beaverton Police Department responded to Westside Linear Park near the intersection of SW Barrows Rd. and SW Horizon Blvd. on the report of suspicious circumstances. Upon arrival Beaverton police officers discovered the body of 13-year-old Milana Li in a small stream.
Investigators began an investigation into the suspicious nature of Li's death. This afternoon an autopsy was performed on Li. The results indicated the manner of death was homicide.
Officers have received dozens of investigative tips from community members and are following up on several leads in this case.
Currently, investigators do not believe there is a continued threat to our community. However, the Beaverton Police Department wants to stress that this is an ongoing criminal investigation. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Cindy Herring at 503-526-2280.
