As authorities continue their investigation into the death of a Detroit synagogue leader found stabbed over the weekend, police chief James E. White said Sunday no evidence has surfaced suggesting the killing was motivated by antisemitism.

The body of Samantha Woll, president of the board of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, was discovered with multiple stab wounds at her home on Saturday morning, the Detroit Police Department said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said they followed "a trail of blood" leading to her home, where it's believed the crime happened. Authorities have not identified a suspect in the case and it's still unclear what led up to the killing.

Woll's family and friends gathered Sunday to share their final goodbyes during her funeral service. They remembered her kindness and the love she had for other people while lamenting on the unknowns of why this happened to her.

In his statement Sunday, White, the police chief, said investigators are working with the FBI to "forensically analyze all of the information obtained up to this point in an effort to ascertain the timeline that ultimately led to Ms. Woll's death."

"Individuals with information that may further this investigation are being interviewed," White said.

"I again ask the community to remain patient while our investigators and law enforcement partners continue their work," the chief added. A media update on the case will be provided Monday, White said.
