RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) -- The woman shot in downtown Raleigh on Friday morning has died.

Raleigh Police Department said "there are no suspects in custody or being sought" in the case.

The shooting happened shortly after 9 a.m. on South Salisbury Street between West Hargett Street and West Martin Street.

When officers arrived they found a woman with serious injuries. She was rushed to the hospital for treatment. She later died from her injuries.

ABC11 captured video from the scene showing crime tape in front of a parking deck.

Police could be seen congregating near a white convertible BMW that had its passenger side window busted out.

Police blocked off South Salisbury Street between Martin and Hargett Streets, closing the area while they investigate.

"I think it's very surprising to see the road blocked off like this, especially during this time of day," Jacob Miles said. "It's concerning to me, especially somebody that likes to be in downtown, walk around. But I just hope, whoever it is, that they're going to be OK."
