Phoenix police are looking for a suspect or suspects responsible for the death of a woman who was fatally shot at a food truck.
Police don’t know where the gunfire came from.
“Initially we thought it was a vehicle but now we can’t even substantiate where that gunfire came from,” Phoenix Police Department Sgt. Mercedes Fortune tells PEOPLE. “It could have been a vehicle or someone shooting in the area. We just don’t know.”
Fortune says investigators don’t believe that McClain was targeted.
“It was not like Destiny was involved in anything, truly,” she says. “She just happened to be in line waiting for food at a food truck next to these other businesses.”
No one else was injured.
McClain was transported to a local hospital where she died.
McClain’s mother said her daughter had only gone out twice in a year and was out supporting a friend going through a divorce.
“I don’t know how to feel, I don’t know what to think. It just doesn’t make sense to me,” McClain’s mother Brenda Gilliam-Miller told12News.

Gilliam-Miller described her daughter as a “goofball” who loved Disney and Winnie the Pooh.
“This girl would just sing off-key intentionally,” she told 12News.
Fortune says police are hoping the public will help them find out what happened.
“We are hoping that if anybody saw anything that early morning, or if they have surveillance cameras or anything that can provide some leads or tips into where the gunfire came from, it would be very beneficial to this case,” she says.
