Syracuse, N.Y. — A 21-year-old woman was shot in the leg while sitting in her car Saturday afternoon, police said.
The woman shot at 12:43 p.m. outside 131 Grape Terrace, said Sgt. Thomas Blake, a spokesperson for Syracuse police. That’s just a block from where 11-year-old Brexialee Torres-Ortiz was killed on Monday night.
The woman shot Saturday told police she was in her car when someone approached her and shot her, Blake said. The woman was taken to Crouse Hospital in a car, he said. She is in stable condition, he said.
Police ask anyone with information about the shooting to call them at (315) 442-5222 or use the anonymous tipline.
