DRIVE BY SHOOTING IN TACOMA LEAVES ONE DEAD, ONE INJURED
February 08, 2010
(TACOMA, WA) -- Tacoma police are searching for the person who shot to death a 20-year old woman and wounded her brother, a passenger in the same car, in a drive-by shooting at an east Tacoma intersection.
The Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office has identified the dead woman as Camille A. Love.
The shooting happened about 10 p.m. Sunday. The brother told investigators he and his sister had just left a family gathering and were headed to a friend's house and they noticed a minivan following them.
The two vehicles were side by side at a couple of lights and one of the lights was near the intersection of East 56th Street and East Portland Avenue.
A Tacoma police spokesman said the two siblings were stopped in their small red Ford automobile at a red light at that intersection, with the minivan stopped next to their car, and when the light turned green, the two cars began driving and someone inside the minivan opened fire on the red car, killing the woman driver Camille love and wounding the male passenger, her brother.
Police say the brother, wounded in the arm, is expected to recover. What sparked the shooting is unknown. Police said there was no known, apparent motive for the shooting and there was no confrontation between the occupants of the two vehicles.
Police also said there's nothing to indicate that any person in either vehicle knew the people in the other vehicle.
A Tacoma newspaper, The News Tribune, reported that officers found the minivan abandoned a short time later a mile or two from the scene and it had been reported stolen.
The only description police have of the shooting suspect is that he was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt.
