The unidentified woman, around 20 years old, was shot around 3 a.m. outside of an apartment near 27th and Glendale avenues, according to Phoenix police spokesman Luis Samudio.

Police said the couple had been arguing before the shooting, though it is unclear what the argument was about.

The woman was dead when officers arrived on the scene. Her boyfriend was taken to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries.

There were two children, ages 1 and 4, inside the apartment when the shooting occurred, Samudio said. Neither one was harmed.
