Officers were dispatched to a welfare check call at an apartment at the above address. A family member became concerned for a couple in the apartment after hearing there was a possible disturbance at the apartment.
When officers arrived, they did not get a response. Fearing a medical emergency, officers obtained a key from the apartment property manager to do a welfare check on the couple. Upon entry, officers found a female victim unresponsive on the floor. She had been shot. Paramedics were called and pronounced the woman deceased. The male who lives in the apartment with her was not located.
