Rivera and her two passengers heard firework-like sounds and says one bullet hit the trunk and another hit a passenger door.
A witness told Officials they saw two men wearing hoodie sweatshirts shoot handguns at the car near the intersection of Suffolk and June Streets and ran off.
A white Jeep Cherokee with four or five people was seen leaving the scene at the time.
