TUCSON, AZ — A woman who suffered severe injuries when a vehicle apparently struck her Sunday in a south Tucson parking lot died from her injuries Tuesday, police said. The woman was 38-year-old Carrissa Marie Santa Cruz, according to Tucson police. Three men were also shot in the incident in a parking lot of the apartment complex at 1240 W. Ajo Way early Sunday morning. One of those men was hit by a stray bullet while he was inside an apartment, police said. None of gunshot victims' injuries were life-threatening, according to police. Santa Cruz and the three men were all taken to local hospitals for treatment, police said. Police did not release the names of the three men.
