This witness, who didn’t want to be identified, said the woman who died was her cousin, who was in town from Bradenton for a family member’s birthday party.
"She was down visiting my mom for her 62nd birthday," she said.
The victim's cousin showed NBC6 her swollen ankle after she ran and fell when she tried to help her cousin once the shots rang out.
"I was running to try to save her but the bullets were coming so fast, I tripped and broke my ankle," she said.
She described the shooter as a young man who walked by them and started shooting.
Now, she’s asking anyone who may have seen something to say something.
Police said right now there is no motive.
An investigation into the shooting remains active.
