Woman asked 911 for help as she was chased on freeway
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A woman who was fatally shot on a Phoenix freeway made nervous pleas for help to a 911 operator as she was chased by three men in a pickup truck.
A transcript of Dinya Farmer's call to the 911 operator was released by police Monday, nearly two weeks after the 49-year-old was attacked while driving on State Route 51.
Farmer died at a hospital after she crashed into a freeway median on Sept. 7. No arrests have been made in her death.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Police are trying to determine the motive behind the attack. Investigators have said the circumstances of the shooting don't point to random violence or a traffic dispute.
There was no indication the incident is related to a 2015 series of shootings on Phoenix freeways or a 2016 series of shootings largely on or near residential streets.
Farmer gave the 911 operator a description of the truck, said she was nervous and asked, "What should I do?"
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}She said the men tried to approach her earlier and that they kept following her on the freeways.
Finally, she said, "They're right next to me."
The transcript said a noise could be heard on the phone.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The operator asked repeatedly, "Ma'am, are you there?"
Police said 911 operators could hear gunshots before the call was disconnected.
The truck was described as having a ladder rack and a tool box.
