A woman was killed and 13 other people were injured in a drive-by shooting that occurred during a candlelight vigil in Baytown, Texas on Sunday evening, officials said.

He went on to say that suspect drove in "a small dark colored sedan" and proceeded to open fire on the crowd gathered "at an outdoor food trailer venue on N. Market Loop." No have arrests have been made.
