Brittany Sater, 26, was shot and killed early Sunday morning.

The Bloomington Police Department responded to the call at 12:50 a.m. at the 2300 block of South Rogers Street.

BPD Capt. Steve Kellams said the victim was pronounced dead at IU Bloomington Hospital at 9:56 a.m. Sunday.

When BPD arrived at the scene, the victim was at a neighbor’s house.

Police said she was suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. She was transported to the hospital in critical condition.

Investigators are still determining what happened and who was involved.

Preliminary evidence indicates that two suspects, possibly a male and female that the victim knew, entered the victim’s home and shot her with a shotgun, Kellams said.

BPD said based on the crime scene, they believe the shooting occurred over drugs.

The suspects are no longer in the Bloomington Area, Kellams said.

The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information should contact BPD at 812-339-4477.
