The victim sustained a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the arm.  The victim was a passenger in the car with her mother.  Several shots were fired by Taylor, striking the vehicle and the victim.  The suspect vehicle is described as a white 90's model sedan.

CBS13's Macy Jenkins spoke with Sergeant Tony Turnbull about the case this evening and will have more at 10 on the CBS13 Weekend News.
