San Diego police have identified the woman who was shot and killed earlier this month in the Midway District.
Police said Octavia Williams, 20, was shot by Joe Bennette Conway around 11:45 p.m. on Oct. 9 in the parking lot the Barons Market on the 4000 block of West Point Loma Boulevard.
Conway then fled in a red Chevrolet Cavalier sedan, possibly with Arizona license plates, San Diego police Lt. Anthony Dupree said.
When police arrived they found Williams, who is from Phoenix, with a gunshot wound in the upper body. She was transported to the hospital where she later died.
An employee at the nearby Domino's Pizza said the Williams and Conway came into the pizzeria as a couple and Williams asked to use the bathroom. When she came out, the two went outside to talk.
The conversation turned into an argument and minutes later, a single gunshot was heard, the employee told NBC 7.
The Williams was still alive when the employee ran out to help but she was unable to speak.
