Police are investigating a double-shooting that left one woman dead early this morning.
Police received a call just after 4 a.m. from a man stating that he’d been shot, according to police spokeswoman Holly McPherson.
Police responded to the Heritage Trace Apartments on Heritage Way, where they found a black Volkswagen Passat with four occupants. Two of them were suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to their upper bodies.
The 29-year-old male driver was taken to the hospital. The 42-year-old female front seat passenger was pronounced dead at the scene, at approximately 4:16 a.m. She has been identified as Gale Perch, of the 300 block of Circuit Lane in Newport News.
A 23-year-old male and a 22-year-old female in the back seat were not injured. They are being interviewed, but “are not very forthcoming about the events of the evening,” McPherson said in a statement.
Police have determined the shooting took place in the parking lot of River Trace Apartments, located in the Denbigh area of the city. Police currently have no suspects available.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Line at 1-888-LOCK-U-UP.
