SIGN UP Neighbors, who didn't want to be identified in fear for their safety, said the car flipped over after it hit the parked vehicle.
Those who live on the street said the man got out of the car and asked someone who was outside for help stating that someone was trying to kill him and said the woman in the car was his wife. They said he then ran into a home as the person was trying to call 911.
The neighbors said they then heard several gunshots and saw that the woman, who was still trapped inside the car because of the crash, had been shot. The suspect took off.
