Officials said the victim was a resident of the St. Marc Circle complex and was sitting in her car in the driveway, it does not appear she was targeted or followed, but rather just an easy opportunity for the suspects.

Police said the suspect’s black Acura sedan has a smaller spare tire on the right front wheel and has rear passenger door damage. It also has heavily tinted windows. There were two male suspects described as being dark skinned and wearing hooded sweatshirts. One of the men displayed a silver handgun. Investigators have retrieved surveillance video from nearby homes and will be processing the recovered stolen car for evidence.
