FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- A woman is dead after being shot and run over in southwest Fresno late Saturday morning.

Around 11:30 Saturday morning, Fresno police received a 911 call about a shooting at the intersection of California Ave and Fresno Street, in the parking lot of Wayne's Liquor.

When they arrived they found a woman shot in her upper body.

"Our female victim we transported to CRMC (Community Regional Medical Center), where unfortunately she was promptly deceased shortly after," said Lt. Israel Reyes with the Fresno Police Department.

Lt. Reyes says through witnesses they learned before the shooting that the woman got into a fight with the suspects.

"Indicates that our victim arrived in a vehicle, comforted the passenger of another vehicle that was parked in front of a liquor store, a physical altercation took place," said Lt. Reyes.

After the shooting, the suspects in a dark car left the scene.

"The female fell to the ground, and as the suspects in the vehicle were fleeing the scene, they unfortunately ran her over as she laid in the parking lot," said Lt. Reyes.

Richardo recently bought a home in southwest Fresno and says this is the first time he's experienced a shooting area.

"We buy properties, and we're just trying to keep the area safe, to give a facelift to the neighborhood," said Ricardo. "This is my first time seeing something happen around here, nothing else."

The suspects have not been found, and police are still reviewing the surveillance video.

"It does look like she went straight up to the vehicle as if she knew who the occupants were, but we don't know that for sure at this time," said Lt. Reyes.
