The victim, who was driving, stopped in front of Wesley Medical Center, got out, and tried to get away from Schoenberger. He was still in the passenger seat, opened fire—striking the victim in the upper body.
The victim was rushed into surgery but later died from her injuries. During the gunfire, Wesley Medical Center was also struck.
Witnesses reported seeing Schoenberger running from the area with a firearm.
