A 23-year-old woman was killed in a drive-by shooting Friday night, police say.

Julian Jones was walking on the 2900 block of Macon Drive in southeast Atlanta at about 9:50 p.m. when she was hit by gunfire emanating from a dark-colored SUV, Atlanta police said.

The mother of three was struck in the hip and later died during surgery.

Two men walking with Jones fled and were not injured.

Detectives believe the gunman may have been targeting one of the men walking with Jones.

"You took the mother from four children. She was a good woman, she didn't bother anybody," Jones’ mother, June Woods, told Channel 2 Action News.
