Moon Minneapolis and St. Paul (Moon Handbooks)19-year-old woman who was shot in the head in a drive-by shooting late Monday night in south Minneapolis will likely die Tuesday, according to her aunt.

Tomika Swoope is in critical condition at Hennepin County Medical Center following the shooting, which happened shortly before 10 p.m. at 3232 Columbus Ave. S.

Swoope was driven to Abbott Northwestern before she was transferred to HCMC.

In an exclusive interview with FOX 9 News, Swoop’s aunt, Lori Madison, said her niece was outside her house when the drive-by shooting occurred. She said Swoope was an innocent bystander and does not know who the shooter was or who the intended target was.

Madison said about five bullets sprayed the house, one hitting Swoope in the head.

Minneapolis police Sgt. Bill Palmer said there is conflicting information in the police report as to what happened.

No suspects are in custody. It’s unknown whether or not the suspect and victims knew each other or if the shooting was gang-related.
