The deceased victim was identified as 23-year-old Jessica Yost of South Bend. 

Police say the school has been told about the situation.

The South Bend Community School Corporation released a statement to ABC 57 News saying, “We were shocked and saddened to learn of  a tragic incident which occurred early this morning near Wilson Primary Center resulting in the death of a young woman. We extend our condolences to the family. Although this matter was not related to the school or any school personnel, we are cooperating with law enforcement as they continue their investigation.
