A 19-year-old woman was in a medically induced coma after she was shot in the head during a road rage incident in Miami, family told NBC 6.

Alyssa Sanchez, identified by her brother, was riding in her boyfriend's car early Monday morning when someone in another car fired shots, according to the victim's brother Lazaro Sanchez.

Miami police said they found a white Cadillac riddled with bullets on Southwest 14th Street and 27th Avenue. Detectives have not identified the victims involved, but family said Sanchez was shot in the head when her boyfriend got into an argument with strangers in another vehicle.

The shooter or shooters are still on the loose. Anyone with information is urged to call Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at 305-471-TIPS.
