Homicide 500 block of Booth Ave

Tonight just after 9:30pm officers were dispatched to a residence in the 500 block of Booth on a shooting call.

On arrival officers contacted a caller in front of the house who advised there was a female inside the residence who had been shot.

The caller told officers there was possibly a subject of interest inside the residence who was possibly involved with the shooting.

Upon approaching the house officers could see inside there was an adult female shooting victim, unresponsive, on the floor.

Officers made entry into the house to rescue the shooting victim and get her outside the residence.

Upon securing and removing the victim, they evacuated her to a safe distance while simultaneously surrounding the residence to prevent any escape of any potential subject that may be involved.

From nearby Officers called for EMS for treatment of the shooting victim. EMS transported her to the hospital where she was subsequently declared deceased a short time later.

Officers ultimately called for an operation 100 to bring additional tactical officers to the scene to safely clear the residence to continue the investigation.
