DENVER (KDVR) — Police say a woman is dead after she was found with gunshot wounds in Westminster on Monday night. The Westminster Police Department reported the homicide on social media on Tuesday afternoon. The agency said that officers had been called to a parking lot in the 8400 block of Decateur Street on Monday night just before 8 p.m. for reports of shots fired. The area is near the intersection of 84th Avenue and Federal Boulevard. The area is also home to the Crown Pointe Academy and shares the backside of a strip mall that includes an Adams County Motor Vehicle location and a Westminster Department of Motor Vehicles location. The other side of the road is mostly home to an apartment complex. When officers arrived on scene, they found an unresponsive woman inside a vehicle with gunshot wounds. Westminster Fire and Rescue also responded and attempted life-saving measures, the police department reported. The victim was taken to a local hospital, where she later died of her injuries, the police department said. Her identity is in the care of the Adams County Coroner's Office, which is notifying her next of kin and will also provide the official cause of death. Police said they're investigating it as a homicide. The police department is asking anyone with information about the incident to contact them at 303-658-4360. The investigation is ongoing, the agency said, and more information will be released when it's available.
