A woman died Saturday night from a gunshot wound to the head in Birmingham.

The shooting happened about 10:45 p.m. in the city's Southtown public housing community. Police said they responded to an apartment in the 900 block of 23rd Street South on a report of a shooting.

Once they arrived, they found a 36-year-old black female shot and Birmingham Fire and Rescue pronounced her dead on the scene. She has been identified as Sikeisha Mitchell.

Investigators are trying to determine how the shooting happened. Initially it wasn't immediately clear whether it was intentional or accidental,but police later determined it was a homicide. An adult male was in the apartment at the time of the shooting. Police are questioning the man.

Authorities said he is the woman's boyfriend and a domestic argument was possibly taking place when the shooting happened.

Multiple family members of the woman responded to the scene, visibly emotional. One woman was yelling repeatedly, "My baby, my baby."

No formal charges have been announced. Mitchell is Birmingham's 69th homicide victim this year, and the fifth in three days. Of those 69, five have been ruled justifiable and therefore the Birmingham Police Department does not count them in their year-end tally. In all of Jefferson County, there have been 101, including the Birmingham slayings.
