Henderson police received calls about 8:45 p.m. of a robbery at Jared The Galleria of Jewelry, 1071 W. Sunset Road, near Marks Street. The robbery happened just before the jewelry store closed at 9 p.m.
The woman shot was taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center’s trauma unit in critical condition and later died, Henderson Police Department spokeswoman Michelle French said.
