SOUTHFEI:D (WWJ) -- A person of interest is now in custody as police investigate the murder of a woman at a Southfield home.

Just before midnight Sunday, officers responded to a home on Bainbridge Dr., in a neighborhood in the area of 13 Mile Rd. and Southfield Rd.

"Southfield Police were called when they found a female who died at the scene from a gunshot," WWJ Newsradio 950's Charlie Langton reported.

Police have identified the victim — an adult woman — but they're not releasing her name or other details at this time.

Police said the suspect and the victim knew each other, so this was not a random crime, but "an isolated incident."

Monday afternoon, the Southfield PD issued an update saying that a
person of interest was taken into custody after "tremendous investigative follow-up" by responding officers, detectives, SPD’s Tactical Crime Suppression Unit, Oakland County Auto-Theft Taskforce, and the FBI-Oakland County Gang and Violent Crime Taskforce.

Once the investigation is complete, police said the case will be forwarded to the Oakland County Prosecutor's Office for a charging decision, and more information will be released.

Anyone with information about this case can call Southfield Police or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-SPEAK UP (800-773-2587). Tips can be submitted online at this link.
