Det Insp Nick Hind, of the force's major crime unit, said the victim's next of kin had been informed.
He said: "We have a large scene-watch in place in the Bayswater Road area of Oxford and the adjacent park."
"I would like to reassure the local community that we are making good progress in this investigation," he added.
"Even though our investigation is in the very early stages, we do believe that the victim and offender were known to each other, and we don't believe there to be a wider risk to the local community."
