It happened around 11:19 p.m. on March 30th.
Investigators say a victim, a 19-year-old woman, was walking in the 1200 block of South 13th Street around when she was approached by an unknown man.
The suspect pulled out a revolver and demanded money, and the woman tried to defend herself with mace.
That's when she was shot in the abdomen.
