Orlando police are investigating a deadly shooting on a busy road that happened during rush hour on Thursday.

A stretch of West Colonial Drive, between Mercy Drive and John Young Parkway, was closed for three hours at the height of rush hour.  Investigators say a woman, identified as  52-yer-old Robin Jean Roundtree, was shot on the roadway and pronounced deceased after being transported to a nearby hospital.

Police spent most of Thursday evening taking photographs and bagging evidence at the scene, as they searched for clues in the woman's death.

As detectives search for a suspect, or suspects, they are also investigating whether a nearby crash that involved three cars was related to the shooting.
