EAST HARLEM, Manhattan (WABC) -- Police are searching for several people after a 69-year-old woman was fatally shot in East Harlem on Wednesday afternoon.

It happened at East 110th Street and Madison Avenue just before 12:30 p.m.

A city official said the victim, 69-year-old Robin Wright, was using a walker and was not the intended target.

She was shot in the face while standing on the sidewalk next to her friend, Juanita Arnold.

Arnold said she had gone across the street to grab takeout for lunch. Wright was just about to cross the street to go into her building.

"We were just coming from the Chinese restaurant, innocently, we didn't expect for any of this to happen," Arnold said.

Surveillance video shows Wright pushing her blue walker about a block or so from her apartment. Minutes
