BLOOMINGTON – The Bloomington Police Department continues to investigate the murder of 53-year-old Bloomington woman.  

Pamela Zimmerman was found shot to death in her office in the 2103 E. Washington St. on Nov. 4.

Police added they're continuing to process other evidence in the case and are coordinating with the state police crime lab.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Bloomington police at 309-434-2963. Citizens can also remain anonymous by calling McLean County Crime Stoppers at 309-828-1111.
