According to Sgt. Genae Cook, police couldn’t see anyone on the road, but did notice a red car driving “erratically” away from Guilford Avenue. The officers attempted to stop the car and chased it; the short chase ended at the intersection of 30th Street and College Avenue about half a mile away.

The second person in the car, who was uninjured, was transported to the Homicide Unit for questioning. Cook said the driver was shot and taken to a hospital, where she later died.

Sergeant Genae Cook told News 8’s Adam Pinsker,

“The vehicle then came to a stop here at 30th Street and College, two individuals jumped out of the vehicle and immediately surrendered to officers. One person had what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the leg. That person was taken to a local hospital where he is listed in stable condition. The second person was uninjured.

“The driver was in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. It was female. She had injuries similar to a gunshot wound. She was then transported to a local hospital in critical condition, where she later died.

The Marion County Coroner’s Office confirmed her identity as 17-year-old Rania Grundy on Friday.
