COLLINGDALE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Authorities have identified the pregnant woman who was shot and killed outside a Wawa in Delaware County on Saturday night.

It happened just before 7:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the store along the 900 block of McDade Boulevard in Collingdale, Pennsylvania.

Authorities responded to the scene for reports of gunfire. Upon arrival, officers found a gunshot victim, who was pronounced dead a short time later.

The victim has since been identified as 32-year-old Latoya Davis, who authorities say was pregnant at the time.

Police say another woman, 30-year-old Evelena Williams, was at the scene after the shooting.

According to investigators, Williams told police she was the one who shot Davis when she was questioned about the incident.

Police also said Williams told them that she was licensed to carry a firearm.

Williams also reportedly told police she fired one shot at the victim before placing her gun in her car.

Officers say later on, they did locate a firearm in Williams' vehicle.

Investigators recovered surveillance video that shows a confrontation between both women inside the store.

The two women did not know each other beforehand, police say.

"Unfortunately they ended up parking their cars next to each other," said Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer.

Video from the Wawa captured Williams shooting Davis as Davis was running away, according to the D.A.'s office.

Williams is now facing charges in connection with this incident. She is being held without bail.

Anyone with information should contact the police.
