Julie Marie Butcher, a 31-year-old woman, was reportedly killed in a shooting while driving on the northeast side of San Antonio.
Authorities reported that Butcher was driving the car when a bullet hit her head, which caused a major rollover accident near Interstate 35 southbound access road between Eisenhauer Road and Rittiman Road.
According to the San Antonio Police Department, a woman was shot while driving down the access road, which caused her to crash on Friday at around 9:30 p.m.
The police discovered the car in a ditch and identified the woman as Julie Butcher, the only person inside the vehicle. Butcher was pronounced dead at the scene, and no other injuries were reported.
The SAPD believed the shooting to be a targeted incident. Authorities are currently investigating this case; however, no description of the suspect has been provided yet.

Friends of Butcher took to social media to pay tribute and urged people to donate to Butcher's family. Sabrina Salagar wrote on Facebook,
"A friend was shot and killed while driving. Julie was so selfless and kind; whenever my car broke down, she would drive 40 mins every day just to pick me up and take me to work with her. I miss those days just jammin to 2000s hip-hop and acting like idiots. Please donate if you can to help her family with the costs of the funeral."
