Eyewitnesses who described the incident as bizarre say the gunmen bolted with her phone after she was killed.
Some of the residents around Maxima junction say they live in fear, indicating that their fears have been heightened following the young woman's death on Tuesday night.
A tailor around the area says the criminals carry out their activities around 7:30 pm to 8 pm. The criminals hid behind a huge tree within the vicinity and attack innocent people.
