FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A woman has died and four other people were injured after a shooting and car crash in northwest Fresno on Monday night.

A man believed to be in his 20s was shot in the head around 6:30 pm at the intersection of Shaw and Brawley avenues.

Fresno police say the man went to find help in the parking lot of the nearby Walmart after the shooting.

The man was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive his injuries.

Soon after, officials say a vehicle that was possibly involved in the shooting crashed into another car on Brawley and Weber, causing both to catch fire.

A 66-year-old woman inside one of the vehicles was killed, and three other people were injured.

Investigators say they are still looking for at least one person who ran away from the scene of the crash.

Part of the Walmart parking lot and the intersection where the crash happened have both been shut down as the investigation continues.
