Washington, DC – A welfare check in Northeast on Sunday evening led police to a grim discovery when officers found a woman fatally shot inside a Minnesota Avenue residence.

DC Fire and EMS personnel responded but found no signs of life, and Singletary was pronounced dead at the scene. Detectives have not released any information about possible suspects or a motive for the shooting.
