A woman is clinging to life after being shot five times and police are trying to find the distinctive looking couple who took off running after the shooting and may be involved.
The woman they are looking for is heavy-set with pink hair. The man is thin with a reddish-colored beard and black baseball cap. They both fled on foot, headed north on Haldeman Avenue.
The shooting happened at an apartment complex in the 9900 block of Haldeman just before 3 p.m. The victim, a 23-year-old woman who has not been identified, was rushed to the nearest police station by a man in a van that contained a lot of cash, according to police. That's about a two-minute drive from the crime scene. Police then rushed her to the hospital where she is in critical condition.
Police are trying to figure out if the shooting was random or if the victim was targeted. Along with tracking down the couple, they want to talk to the man who drove the wounded woman to the 7th District police station at the corner of Bowler Street and Bustleton Avenue.
