When police got to the scene, they found Guadagno shot in an alley between two apartments and began to provide first aid.
She was taken to a local hospital where she died from her injuries, according to Lt. Eric Sheldon.
As shown on News Center 7 at 5:00, employees at the Family Dollar told News Center 7 that Guadagno had just moved to Dayton from New York. The employee, who asked to remain anonymous, said she just married one of their co-workers.
They said she was a sweet person and this shooting shocked them.
“It doesn’t make sense,” They said. “Life doesn’t mean anything to anybody anymore, it seems.”
