CARSON (CBSLA) — A 25-year-old woman was shot while inside of her Mercedes in Carson Tuesday evening.

According to the Los Angeles Sherrif's Department, she was shot somewhere in her upper body. Witnesses reported the victim was shot in her eye.

The woman's brother told CBSLA's Chris Holmstrom that his sister was the woman shot and she was awake when she arrived at the hospital.
