The two people arrived in a vehicle about 6:45 p.m. Tuesday to North Memorial Health and were identified as a 28-year-old woman and a 41-year-old man, police said.
Police were told shortly before midnight that the woman had died, Sgt. Garrett Parten said in a statement. The man was suffering from apparent broken bones and other significant injuries, a police report read.

Parten's statement noted the vehicle that arrived at North Memorial "had evidence of damage from gunfire."
Police found the scene of the shooting in the 2600 block of W. Broadway, where they looked for evidence, the statement continued.
