Richfield fatal shooting

What we know:

Richfield police conducted a welfare check on 22-year-old Kayli Grace Arseth after she reportedly failed to show up to work and no one had heard from her since Monday evening. 

Police responded to her apartment on the 7700 block of Penn Avenue South, and discovered her dead inside the unit. The Hennepin Medical Examiner's report says that she died from a gunshot wound to the head, and her death was ruled a homicide. 

In a search warrant obtained by FOX 9, police reported finding the apartment locked, and the windows were all secured, with no signs of forced entry. 

The search warrant states there were bloodstains in the apartment and officers observed what appeared to be a blood smear on the exterior side of the apartment door. 

What we don't know:

In a press release on Friday, police said officers "observed signs of a struggle" but did not share the circumstances of the shooting or what led up to it.

So far, no arrests have been made. The shooting remains under investigation.
