DENVER — The Denver Police Department (DPD) is investigating a shooting in the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood Saturday evening that left a woman dead.
DPD said officers were called to a home in the 4700 block of Vine Street just before 5:50 p.m. and found an injured woman.
She later died at the hospital, according to DPD, and officers determined she had died of a gunshot wound.
The Denver Medical Examiner's Office identified the victim as Neomi Tafoya, 41.
A DPD spokesperson on Monday said that it was believed the victim and the shooter knew each other and that no suspect was in custody.
