The Charleston County Coroner’s Office has identified the 36-year-old woman who died Sunday, hours after she was struck by gunfire while driving her vehicle in North Charleston.
Coroner Kimberly Rhoton says Kedena Brown, of Goose Creek, died at MUSC Sunday afternoon as a result of a gunshot wound.
Police say the young woman was driving her vehicle when the driver of another vehicle involved in a separate shooting incident fired four bullets into her vehicle, one of them striking her.
Authorities say prior to the fatal shooting, shortly before 2 a.m. officers responded to witness reports of two vehicles chasing and firing shots at one another around Lawrence Street and Constitution Avenue.
Witnesses say they saw a dark in color vehicle, possibly a Blue Saturn View, chasing a silver Chrysler 300 turning west onto Dorchester Road.
The chase reportedly continued down Dorchester Road to Ashley Phosphate in the area of I-26.
From there, police say the silver car exited Ashley Phosphate near Northwoods Boulevard onto I-26 East. The dark vehicle reportedly fired four rounds into the driver’s side door and window of another unrelated Chrysler 300, striking the female driver once.
Police says four people have been arrested in connection with this crime; however, their names have not been released at this time.
Authorities say the investigation is still ongoing.
