According to Apple Valley police, the 25-year-old admitted to participating in the shooting and is currently in custody.
Witnesses said a vehicle fled the scene prior to officers' arrival.
Police say it’s believed that the vehicle was driven to Ridges Hospital in Burnsville. The driver of that vehicle, a 39-year-old male, entered the hospital with gunshot wounds and is in serious condition as of Monday.
The injured 39-year-old male is the deceased female’s ex-boyfriend, police said, and his vehicle is being processed for evidence. He has not yet been identified.
Investigative assistance was requested from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and a crew was on scene Sunday night.
Police ask the public to avoid the area until the scene is cleared. The neighborhood was still blocked off as of late Sunday, with investigators combing the area for evidence and a yellow tarp covering an apparent body near a vehicle.
If you have any information related to the shooting, call your local police department or 911.
There is no indication that others were involved in the incident, police said. The Apple Valley Police Department is continuing to investigate with the assistance of the Minnesota BCA.
