OPA LOCKA (CBSMiami) --  A woman shot while in a car in Opa-Locka took to Facebook Live to film her reaction moments after the incident happened.

The video has gone viral with more than 92,000 views.

In the video you see Donesha S. Gantt -- who was one of the victims in the shooting -- panicked and yelling into the camera as two other women were in the car with her. Donesha and her mother were both injured.

"Mom got shot three times and if I die...Mom I'm bleeding," Donesha is heard saying while taking heavy breaths. "Mama I'm bleeding."

With tears running down her cheeks she continues saying, "I know they shot me but it's good. It's good... God forgive me for all my sins. God forgive me for everything."

Moments later, sirens could be heard approaching.

"I said I'm bleeding. Tell them to help me. I need some help,"  she yells while crying.

A man's voice is then heard comforting her, telling her to breath before the video ends.

"Just breathe, just breathe," he says. "As long as you can talk, it will be okay."

Gantt later posted on Facebook, "BLESSED. All I can say is blessed. 4 wounds and I'm blessed. Love you Ma."

Earlier, Chopper 4 was over the scene where the bullet-riddled grey Chevrolet Donesha had sat in was being looked over by investigators  near NW 138th Blk and NW 27th Avenue.

Crews airlifted at least two women injured in the shooting.

It is unclear what prompted the incident. Police said the culprit remains at large.

Interim City Manager David Chiverton told CBS4's Peter D'Oench, "Our concern is just to have this type of violence continuing to occur in the community and our neighborhood. We take it very seriously and we are aggressively investigating and pursuing every opportunity to bring these culprits to justice."

He said the females were definitely targeted.

Pastor Eric Readon, an activist from the New Beginning Missionary Baptist Church in Miami Gardens, joined the news conference with Chiverton, saying, "We need to bring these people to justice to make our community a safer place, because bullets have no eyes and situations can follow anybody. So if anybody saw anything they should call Crime Stoppers because as I have always said it is their day today but it could be your day tomorrow."

And Donesha's family issued a warning Tuesday night.

"You all gonna be caught. I hope you are watching you are gonna be caught," said Latoya James. "I don't forgive you all!"

Anyone with information is urged to call Miami-Dade Crimestoppers at (305) 471- TIPS.
