A man has been arrested after he allegedly shot and killed a woman outside of a bar.

According to police, on the night of the shooting, Gonzales and some of her friends had just left the bar and were blocking traffic, FOX 29 reported.

Witnesses told police that a white, 4-door sedan was stopped in the street, blocked by the victim and her friends, and the driver honked several times, according to FOX 29.
