PHOENIX — Police are asking the community for help after the deadly shooting of a 72-year-old woman in Phoenix Sunday evening.
Officers were first called to the area of 24th Street and Roeser Road, around 5:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting.
When they arrived, they found 72-year-old Joanne Smith at the scene with at least one gunshot wound. She was taken to a hospital where she died from her injuries.
Investigators say preliminary information suggests Smith was outside of the home when someone in a passing vehicle fired a weapon in the direction of her home, hitting her.
