According to Akron Police Lt. Michael Murphy, after picking up two passengers in a Kia Optima, one of them pulled a gun out and shot her six times.
After the shooting, the passengers jumped out of the car and ran off, Murphy said.
"We're not sure why they shot her. It doesn't appear to be a robbery attempt, so it's very concerning for us, and this is obviously a priority of ours," said Murphy.
