RICHMOND, Va. -- A death investigation is underway in Richmond's West End, according to Richmond Police.

A person was shot and killed Monday afternoon inside an apartment at The Gallery Midtown complex along Stuart Avenue, near N Thompson Street, in Richmond's Museum District neighborhood.

The apartment complex is across the street from Humphrey Calder playground and Interstate 195.

Police have not released much information about the person who was killed nor the suspect in the shooting.

"This is not believed to be a random situation," Richmond Police spokesperson James Mercante said. "So that's a little bit of information for the public on this shooting. But of course the more information detectives can get, the better it is for their investigation."
