The Champaign County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate a shooting incident from last month that resulted in injuries to a woman. Crime Stoppers has joined the effort, hoping to uncover new leads to assist the investigation.
The incident took place on April 16, early in the morning, along Northwood Drive in Urbana Township. Authorities suspect that the exchange of gunfire between two groups led to stray bullets striking nearby vehicles and the home of the unsuspecting victim. She was in bed when bullets hit her in the chest and arm.
Emergency responders, including deputies and EMS, attended to the 40-year-old woman at the scene before she was taken to the hospital for further care. After receiving treatment, she was released.
