18-Year-Old Girl Shot In River Oaks Shopping Center Drive-By Has Died

CHICAGO (CBS)-- The 18-year old girl who was shot last week during a drive-by shooting outside a Calumet City mall has died.

The victim's name is Christin Ross. She was pronounced dead at 8:40 p.m. on Saturday.

Ross and a 17-year old boy, were shot in the Macy's parking lot at River Oaks Center Thursday night. The mall was placed on lockdown following the shooting.

"I'm doing make up for one of my clients, and all you hear is, 'Pow! Pow! Pow!'" said Joy Watson, who works at Macy's.

"All we heard was just a gunshot," said mall employee Sheritta Glober. "And a few minutes later we saw a girl running, and it looks like she's been hit in her leg. She was dripping blood."

The mall reopened at its normal time at 10 a.m. Friday.

Calumet City police said the victims were targeted.

No arrests had been made as of late Sunday afternoon.
