NORTH ROYALTON, Ohio -- A 25-year-old North Royalton man was arrested in the shooting death of his girlfriend, police said.

Christal Shaver, 19, was identified by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner's Office as the woman who was shot at an apartment at the Sunrise Cove Condominiums, North Royalton Detective Dave Loeding said.

The apartment belonged to the man who is now in custody, but who has not been formally charged in Shaver's death.

The suspect called 911 around 5:15 p.m. Tuesday, Loeding said. The detective would not say where Shaver was shot.

Shaver was taken to Southwest General Hospital in Middleburg Heights where she was pronounced dead.

The circumstances that led to the shooting remain under investigation, Loeding said.

The suspect is expected to appear in Parma Municipal Court on Wednesday.
