St. Paul police are investigating a suspected domestic violence shooting that killed a woman in the Dayton’s Bluff area.
Officers responded about 4:15 p.m. Friday to an apartment building in the 500 block of Broadway Street, which is near downtown and close to Interstates 94/35E and East Seventh S
treet.
Inside an apartment, officers found a woman who had been shot in the head, police said in a statement. Preliminary evidence indicated the woman was shot Thursday.
As of Friday night, an active search was underway for the suspect, a man who the woman had been in a relationship with, according to a police spokesperson.
Police recovered a firearm at the scene.
The homicide was the 14th of the year in St. Paul.
There were 32 homicides in the city as of this time last year. The police department counts 29 homicides because it doesn’t include a shooting by officers, in which they were legally cleared, and two cases in St. Paul that were investigated by Metro Transit police.
