A man shot his younger sister to death as she was getting into her car after work, California police said.

Adrienne Johnson, 45, was found inside her car on Sept. 11 with multiple gunshot wounds outside a business in the Airport neighborhood, Riverside police said in a Sept. 15 Facebook post.

Johnson was getting into her car when her brother David Johnson, 51, pulled up behind her, got out and shot her several times, then fled, police said.
