A woman who was shot while her fiance was selling a gun in a supermarket parking lot died Wednesday, according to her family.
Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said an autopsy is scheduled Friday for Chelsea Jones, 22, of Thomaston.
Jones was sitting in the front passenger seat of an SUV when she was shot in the head by her fiance, Dylan Grubbs, 23, also of Thomaston, police said. According to Maine State Police, Grubbs had driven to the parking lot to sell a 9mm Taurus handgun and was showing it to a prospective buyer outside the SUV when the gun went off.
Jones was taken to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick and later transported to Maine Medical Center in Portland.
Grubbs was interviewed by police. Also interviewed was the man intending to purchase the gun, who also witnessed the shooting, according to an earlier statement from McCausland.
Police took the firearm to the state crime lab in Augusta to be inspected.
The Bath Police Department and state police are involved in the investigation.
More than $1,500 has been raised in a Go Fund Me campaign set up for Jones that her family said will go toward funeral expenses and the future needs of her two young children.
