Paramedics rushed the woman to the hospital, but she died from her injuries. One guest at the motel told Channel 2′s Tom Regan that the shooting happened in a room just below where she was sleeping.
“I heard eight shots.” said motel guest Kevii Tee.
Tee said she didn’t know who fired the shots, and remained in her room until police arrived. She then checked out and left with a friend.
Darryl Thomas, a long-time resident at the extended stay motel, said it was not something he was used to in the area.
“It just sad now. To know you live out here. It’s a nice place to live. But for something like this to happen, it’s shocking. It really is.,” he said.
A delivery driver says he says he saw dozens of crime scene investigators at the motel, looking for potential witnesses and evidence.
“That’s crazy. That’s nuts. That’s the world we live in. It’s terrible.” said Anthony Bonner.
Police have not released the name of the shooting victim and are asking the public for help in their investigation. Anyone who has information on the shooting can send an anonymous tip by texting “DKPD” to 847411 followed by the information.
