According to authorities, the suspect drove up to the victims in the area of Homestead Avenue and Southwest 173rd Terrace and opened fire at the victims, shooting the man who was driving and a woman who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Police said the man drove himself and his passenger to Jackson South Medical Center, where he was initially listed in critical condition.

He was later identified as 29-year-old Robert Harden Jr.

According to authorities, Harden’s passenger was grazed in the face by a bullet and was in stable condition. Relatives of Harden identified the woman as his girlfriend, Michelle Mitchell.

They said the couple was on the way home when the shooting occurred.

A motive for the shooting remains unclear.

Police said the “known subject” remains at large. Her identity has not yet been released.
