HENRICO COUNTY, Va. -- A suspect in a Henrico homicide investigation has been taken into custody, according to the Henrico Police Department.

"This was an isolated incident, and the investigation is ongoing," a Henrico Police spokesperson wrote about the crime. "Detectives will work with the Henrico County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office to determine what charges are appropriate."

Henrico Police responded to the 9500 block of Downing Street, in the Gates Head neighborhood Monday, at about 3 p.m., for a reported domestic disturbance.

When officers arrived, they made contact with a man who refused to come outside, police said.

"Multiple units from within the Henrico County Police Division responded to the scene to assist with the active incident," a Henrico Police spokesperson said. "At approximately 6:21 p.m., the suspect was taken into custody without incident."

Neither the man's name nor the victim's name has been released.

Henrico Police said their identities would be released once the next of kin was notified.

The Gates Head community, where the home is located, contains about 90 homes.

"We would like to share our thanks to area residents who remained inside their homes and avoided the area as our personnel worked this active scene,” Henrico Police spokesperson Karina Bolster said.
