SEDGWICK COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities investigating  shooting outside a weekend  party have identified the victim as 39-year-old Justine Bell of Wichita. 

Shortly after 2:00 a.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to a shooting call in the 2200 block of E. 12th street N. in Wichita, according to officer Trevor Macy.

At the scene, police located a Bell with a single gunshot wound. She was transported to an area hospital for treatment of critical injuries.

Investigators learned that a party took place at the location on 12th street when an argument broke out in the parking lot. This led to multiple shots being fired. One of the shots struck Bell.

It is believed that multiple people then began to flee the location, and at least one vehicle struck Bell causing additional injuries.

Police have not reported an arrest or updated Bell's condition.
