Police have identified her as Harsimrat Randhawa and say she was studying at Mohawk College. 

They allege she died when a passenger in a black Mercedes SUV fired at the occupants of a white sedan, and that both vehicles then left the area. 

Police say shots were also fired into the back window of a nearby home where residents were watching TV, but no one inside was hurt.
