Police continue to investigate a shooting that killed an Evansville woman inside her apartment.
Police were called to the apartment in the 1500 block of N. Roosevelt Friday evening.
In a news release, the EPD said a resident returned home from a quick errand and found his wife suffering from a gunshot wound.
41-year-old Toni Bittler was taken to a hospital where she was pronounced dead.
During the investigation, police said they found what appeared to be a bullet hole in the wall that separated the victim’s apartment from the neighboring apartment.
Officers detained an occupant of the unit next door and said they found evidence that a gun had been fired.
Police said a woman fled the apartment with a small child before officers arrived.
Police are looking for her and trying to determine what led up to the shot being fired and who fired it.
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Evansville Police or the WeTip line at 800-78-CRIME.
