CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, Va. — A woman is dead after she was shot multiple times Thursday evening in Chesterfield County, Crime Insider sources tell Jon Burkett.

The shooting occurred just before 6 p.m. on the 5800 block of Nottinghill Drive at the South Point Landing Apartments in Chesterfield.

"Officers located an adult female victim at the above location suffering from multiple gunshot wounds," Chesterfield Police said in a statement. "Officers rendered aid to the victim, who was transported to a local hospital where she succumbed to her injuries."

Sources tell Burkett that the shooting of the victim, a young mother, was not random and may have stemmed from a domestic issue.

Residents living in the area say they are stunned by the shooting.

"I was sitting in the house, and all of a sudden, I heard shots," a neighbor said. "I've been living here not too long — since July of last year. It's very surprising to me."

A homicide investigation is underway.

If you have any information about the shooting, police ask that you call them at 804-748-1251 or Crime Solvers at 804-748-0660.
