After suffering from a gunshot wound for nearly five months, Yashika Green succumbed to her injuries Friday.

The 42-year-old was found in the early morning of March 1, in a residence on the 200 Block of Wayne Place, SE. Green suffered from an apparent gunshot wound and was immediately transported to a nearby hospital, where she remained up until her death months later.

The medical examiner determined her death to be a result of complications from a gunshot wound and her manner of death to be a homicide.

Police have yet to release any suspect information.
