A man was arrested after a woman was fatally shot in a car with a child inside in east Tulsa on Tuesday afternoon.

Police officers found the victim, whose name was not released Tuesday evening, in a car next to a taco stand at the Memorial Park shopping center about 3:25 p.m.

The victim was later pronounced dead at a hospital, said Lt. Brandon Watkins.

Police arrested Nathaniel Chilcoat, 29, at the scene.

Chilcoat reportedly was involved in a road rage incident with another car, occupied by the victim, another woman and a 4-year-old child, police said. The incident escalated into a verbal altercation in the parking lot of the Walgreens at 51st Street and Memorial Drive before Chilcoat is alleged to have opened fire, hitting the victim in the torso.
