A woman in Texas was gunned down while she was inside a car parked in front of a Houston convenience store earlier this week, police said. 

The 25-year-old victim was inside of the driver’s seat of her parked car with a 27-year-old man around 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, the Houston Police Department (HPD) said in a Wednesday press release. They were in front of a convenience store near Scottcrest Drive in Houston when a masked suspect approached, police said.

The suspect, who was also wearing a dark hoodie, walked up to the driver’s side door from behind the vehicle and opened fire, HPD said. He then ran off onto Scottcrest, when he climbed into a red or marron car that was missing a back bumper, cops said. 

Paramedics were unable to save the woman, whose identity was not immediately revealed. Her passenger suffered cuts but was otherwise okay, police said.
