Update: The Marion County coroner's office has identified the victim as Kaylin S. Cole, 21. However, no autopsy results have yet been released.

Posted at 10:05 a.m. Nov. 15: Metropolitan police are investigating a shooting that left a woman dead on the south side Wednesday morning.

Officers found the woman's body in a car in the 1300 block of South Senate Avenue about 8:15 a.m., Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department Maj. Rich Riddle said.

Witnesses told investigators the woman was in her car and argued with a man in another car in the parking lot of an apartment building, Riddle said.

The man pulled a handgun and fired into the woman's car. She stepped on the accelerator and collided into another vehicle.

The victim's car wedged underneath the car it hit.

The man left the scene in another vehicle. Investigators believe the man and woman knew each other, Riddle said.

"This is believed to be a domestic situation," Riddle said. "We are following several leads on a suspect."
