By WTOP Staff

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore police are looking for a woman who, they say, killed two people, including a toddler, by deliberately driving her car at them after an argument.

It happened shortly after 9 p.m. Tuesday in west Baltimore. Police say a woman and two children were sitting on steps when the woman got into an argument with another woman.

Officers say the second woman got into a car, aimed it at the people on the steps, and drove toward them, hitting them. The driver then fled the scene.

Police say 25-year-old Latoya Skipwith and 2-year-old Joshua Carter died at local hospitals. A 7-year-old girl suffered injuries that do not appear to be life-threatening.
