Winnipeg police are investigating the first homicide of 2008.
Constable Jacqueline Chaput tells CJOB the call came in at 2:40 a.m. (wed) regarding a shooting at a residence in the 600 block of Magnus Street between Mackenzie and Parr Streets.
She says the woman who was shot was conveyed to hospital with life threatening injuries, but succumbed to her wounds.
Chaput says the shooting does not appear to be a domestic matter, partly because the woman was inside the home when she was shot while the shooter was outside the house.
The woman's age has not been released, and police say there have been no arrests yet or information available on any suspects.
The homicide unit is investigating a number of witnesses. CJOB Colleen Bready reporting.
