Authorities said they have suspects but had made no arrests as of Wednesday in the case of a Cedar Hill teen who had been missing since last month and was found dead Friday afternoon.

Kamesha Hall, 18, a recent graduate of Cedar Hill High School, was reported missing by her mother on Oct. 28.

A passer-by found her body in a creek bed along Pentagon Parkway near U.S. Highway 67 in Dallas. It's unclear how long the body had been there.

The Dallas County medical examiner ruled the death a homicide, saying she suffered blunt force trauma to the head.

The events have been a blow to the community, said Cedar Hill's public relations manager, Corky Brown.

"Even back when she was just a missing person it was sort of a big story here in our own community, because we're still pretty tightly knit," Brown said. "There was a lot of concern about it, and I know that [the police] aggressively worked it as a missing person."

According to Hall's aunt, Hall was last seen by a friend in the area of Joe Wilson Road and Winding Creek Drive.

"They went to a couple of stores in Cedar Hill," said the aunt, Charlene Ballard. "From what the girls say, she walked her to the stop sign ... and she went home – and never made it home."

Ballard described Hall as a typical teenager who loved her family, played basketball and dreamed of being a rap star. She had recently passed a test to join the Navy, the aunt said.

"No one had the right to take her life," Ballard said.

Family and friends blanketed Cedar Hill with fliers while Hall was missing.

Ballard said that although God didn't grant their prayers to have her home safely, he did bless the family in another way.

"He brought her home, and that's important," Ballard said. "We could be like other families, you know, that still don't know where their babies are."
