The man told officers they were followed by a passenger car into the apartment complex after the vehicle was tailgating them. The man said his passenger, later identified as 29-year-old Alyssa Leonard, got out of the car and an occupant of the suspect vehicle opened fire and struck both of them.
Leonard and the man were rushed to the hospital where Leonard later died from her injuries. The man was stabilized and currently recovering at the hospital.
