Police do not believe she was the intended target.

Investigators are on the hunt for a four-door SUV that they believe was the source of the gunshot.

The broad daylight shooting occurred on a busy street home to numerous restaurants and storefronts — including a podcast studio directly in front of where the gunfire erupted.

The investigation is ongoing.
