Officers visited an address in Chertsey Road last Wednesday to carry out a welfare check.
They discovered a woman, later identified as 26-year-old Navneet Kaur, with gunshot wounds. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her next-of-kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
31 year old Rajat Jaswel of Chertsey Road was arrested shortly after Navneet was found and has since been charged with murder and possession of a firearm with intent to endanger life.
Detective Chief Inspector Sarah Lee, leading the investigation, said: “Our thoughts remain with Navneet’s family and loved ones as they continue to come to terms with this devastating loss.
“A man has been charged but our investigation remains ongoing and we are still keen to hear from anyone who may have information that could assist. Anyone with information – particularly doorbell or dashcam footage from the area – is asked to contact police via 101, and quote 01/8264940/26.”
Information can also be shared anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 111 555.
