BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - Police have released a picture of a woman wanted for the Monday shootings of two people in North Buffalo. The victims were shot from behind while inside a car, forcing them to crash.

In a matter of horrifying minutes in broad daylight, two people were shot at close range and critically injured.

The driver, 26 year old Frank Militello of Buffalo and his 22 year old passenger Kiele Coleman of Kenmore were shot in the front seat of the car, which then crashed into a tree on the 100 block of St. Lawrence Avenue in North Buffalo.

Buffalo Police Spokesman Mike DeGeorge said he believes the suspect knew the two victims.

Buffalo Police have issued a photo of the suspect, 21 year old Adrienne March, black female, 5' 7", weighing 170 pounds, last seen wearing a tan Carhart jacket, baggy dark blue jeans and a white tee shirt.  She is considered armed and dangerous.

Lou Ann Klein from St. Lawrence Avenue said, "The woman got out of the car and proceeded to take off."

Neighbors from Lawrence Avenue said the woman had changed her clothes before fleeing.  A neighbor who talked to an eye witness said the suspect's mouth was frothing and that she was sweaty.

Residents suspect it was a drug deal gone bad because the black 2000 Chevy Impala had been seen on the block for weeks.

One unidentified neighbor said, "It is a vehicle that's been coming up and down the street quite a bit.  It's very well known to see."

The North Buffalo Community Center which services many seniors and children, locked its entrances during the crisis.

Police are hoping the release of the photo of Adrianne March will lead to a quick arrest. If you see the suspect, police said to immediately call 911.
