RACINE - A 19-year-old woman has did after being shot in the head.

Faith Harrison, 19, died Thursday after being shot at about 11:40 p.m. Tuesday on the porch of a home near the corner of 16th Street and Packard Avenue.

Authorities told Newsradio 620 WTMJ's Jodi Becker that several friends were with the victim on the home's porch when someone walked by and fired gunshots toward them.

Neighbor Tarrick Vaughn told TODAY'S TMJ4 he was outside his house when he heard four or five gun shots.  "I look down the street and I'm like wow."

Flight for Life took Faith Harrison to Wheaton Franciscan Hospital.

There was no initial word on her condition or the motive for the shooting.
