MPD said that the shooting is believed to have stemmed from a "domestic dispute."
The victim's mother told investigators that her daughter and another woman were arguing before the shooting. She said she heard the suspect say, "You know what I am looking for," before shooting her daughter while she was in her car.
The mother then shot the suspect with her own gun and the suspect drove off toward Nedra Avenue, police said.
