Investigators detained the husband of a woman who was shot to death in unincorporated Contra Costa County Thursday afternoon, authorities said.

Around 3:20 p.m., deputies from the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office responded to reports of a shooting on the 2100 block of Galway Road in the Tara Hills area southwest of Pinole, the sheriff’s office said.

The first deputies on the scene found a 26-year-old woman suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Deputies tried to resuscitate her until paramedics arrived, but she died at the scene, the sheriff’s office said.

The woman’s husband was detained, though neither he, nor the victim, were identified. No other suspects were being sought, officials said.

Investigators encouraged anyone with information about the incident to contact Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office detectives at (925) 646-2441.
