Officers responding to the 200 block of McCarrey Street, north of Russian Jack Springs Park, around 3:14 p.m. Thursday found a woman with a life-threatening gunshot wound to her upper body, according to APD. The woman was taken to the hospital, where she later died, police said.
Police identified Moses T. Crowe as a suspect in the shooting and conducted a K9 search of the area Thursday evening.

The case is being investigated as a homicide, and police said the shooting is “believed to be an isolated targeted event.” The woman will be identified once next of kin have been notified.
Police asked anyone with information about the shooting to call dispatch at 311.
