SHOOTING DEATH IN DELTONA UNDER INVESTIGATION

Volusia County sheriff's detectives are investigating the shooting death of a woman who was killed in her home in Deltona this evening.

The shooting at 2008 Dearing Ave. was reported around 5:30 p.m., after a man performing work on the house discovered the victim. The front door was ajar, and after calling out several times, the worker said he went in to check if anyone was inside. He found the victim, a woman in her mid-20s, deceased.

While the victim's identity is known to detectives, and they've been in contact with her family, her identity is not being released publicly at this time. That information will be provided in a future update.
