DECATUR, Ga. — DeKalb Police are investigating after a woman was shot dead inside her home Sunday night, they said.

At around 11:30 p.m., police responded to a home in the 1800 block of Atherton Drive in Decatur. 

They said the woman in her mid-40s was found with gunshot wounds and later died from her injuries.

At this point, police said they don't consider robbery to be a motive, and believe the shooting to be an "isolated incident" because of a possible dispute between the victim and the suspect before the shooting. 

Investigators have not arrested anyone, and "the investigation continues," a spokeswoman for the department said in a statement.
