The woman who was shot and killed late Friday in Atlanta was an actress and model who would have turned 36 on Saturday, authorities said.

Jokisha “Kisha” Brown of Duluth was in her black Mercedes SUV at a strip mall on Cheshire Bridge Road when she was shot multiple times through the front passenger side window, Channel 2 Action News reported.

Friends said Brown was in the area to get her makeup done, Channel 2 reported. She worked in Atlanta and Florida.

Investigators say they have no suspects.

“We’re actually interviewing witnesses on the scene,” Atlanta police Capt. Ben McGee told Channel 2. “We do have a number of people who were on the scene when the incident occurred. We are collecting evidence, a number of shell casings.”
