A 26-year-old woman was fatally shot in Compton when she looked outside of a home after hearing gunfire, authorities said Tuesday.

Candice Barcenas was inside a home near the 200 block of North Spring Avenue (map) just after 9 p.m. Monday when she heard gunfire.

As she stood to look from behind a screen door, she was struck by a stray round, according to a news release from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

The gunfire, aimed at a 20-year-old man who was riding a bike, also struck a 32-year-old victim who was standing outside the home, the news release stated. The bike rider was not hit.

With a single gunshot wound, Barcenas was taken to a hospital where she later died. The 32-year-old victim, a Compton resident whose gender was not released, was hospitalized and later released.
