Greenwich police are investigating a mid-morning shooting in Pemberwick that left a female victim dead.

Police responded to 36 Nicholas Ave. shortly before 11 a.m. following a report of gunshots to find the woman dead “in the back part of the property” from gunshot and stab wounds, Greenwich Police spokesman Daniel Allen said.

A male suspect, found on the premises at 36 Nicholas Ave., was taken into custody at the scene.

Police said they are trying to get in touch with the woman’s family. They have not yet released her name.

Investigators set up a perimeter around 36 Nicholas Ave., a blue two story home on the west side of the street, as well as the adjacent residence, 38 Nicholas Ave. Allen said 38 Nicholas Ave. was not part of the crime scene.

The body remained at the scene awaiting the arrival of the medical examiner, Allen said.

Neighbors and other onlookers milled about on the quiet street, just a short distance from the New York State line.

Allen said the initial report of gunshots came from a neighbor at 10:47 a.m.

Police released no information on the victim, the person taken into custody or details of the shooting, except to say that it was an isolated incident and residents could continue their daily routine “without fear.”
