One woman hit by gunfire at a Miami birthday party has died, while police continue searching for the gunmen who shot her and 11 others.

Police said 21-year-old Michelle Coleman died Tuesday morning. The Miami-Dade County medical examiner will perform an autopsy.

She was among 12 people shot early Monday after three men stormed the party at the edge of downtown Miami. Another woman was struck by a vehicle as hundreds of partygoers desperately scrambled for safety.

Police say one 21-year-old woman was treated and released while 10 others remain hospitalized Tuesday. Two remain in critical condition.

Chief John Timoney said bullet casings indicated a semiautomatic rifle and two other pistols were used.
