She then shot the victim several more times, including in the leg, according to police.

The shooter got into a white vehicle parked nearby and drove away.

Johnson was pronounced dead at Interfaith Medical Center a short time later.

“I asked everybody if they had words, they were both there, but there was no interaction," said the victim’s brother, Mathis Johnson, according to the station.

Family also alleged Johnson may have been set up since she had gotten a call about going to the street where she was killed but had seemed unconcerned.

At an Aug. 6 vigil, Mathis Johnson noted his sibling “wasn't perfect, but her heart was perfect."

“The woman was heartless, she took a sister a daughter away, she took a mother,” he added.
