An 18-year-old woman who was shot on Dec. 22 in southwest Cedar Rapids was declared “legally deceased” four days later — on Dec. 26 — by the Johnson County Medical Examiner’s Office.
The Cedar Rapids Police Department announced the death Monday, identifying the woman as Marisa Doolin of Cedar Rapids.
Doolin was found at 3:25 p.m. Dec. 22 in a second-floor apartment at 2110 Westdale Dr. SW, police said. Investigators said she had sustained a life-threatening gunshot wound.
Emergency medical care was administered and Doolin was taken to a hospital, then transferred to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
