According to the sheriff’s office, deputies were called to the 2000 block of Pleasure Drive just before 11:50 a.m. May 3 about a disturbance. When they arrived, they learned that Taylor Cope, 29, and Molly Hall, 28, were in a driveway when Cope saw two people running up to the vehicle he was in.

Cope, the agency reported in an email to media, told Hall, who was driving to leave. As she was pulling out of the driveway, Hall struck an unrelated van and then hit the suspects’ vehicle, the email noted.

“During this, two shots were fired into the victims’ vehicle,” the sheriff’s office reported. One of the bullets grazed Cope’s left shoulder, deputies reported.

The suspects fled the scene after the shooting in a silver SUV.

Anyone with information about Torres’ whereabouts is asked to call 911 immediately.
