An investigation is underway after a man was shot and killed Wednesday morning in a Riverdale neighborhood, authorities said.

Officers were called to a home in a cul de sac along Fox Chase Lane about 10 a.m., Riverdale police Chief Todd Spivey said.

“The location is an active crime scene, and the investigation is ongoing,” he said in an emailed statement.

Investigators have not released the name of the person killed or said what led to the shooting. It’s also unclear if any suspects have been identified.

As of Wednesday evening, police were still working to notify the victim’s family.
