A 19-year-old woman shot in the head during a drive-by shooting south of Brisbane on the weekend has succumbed to her injuries.

Vana-Reese Schuster-Togiatau, from Jimboomba, was attending a boxing event at Loganholme pub Fitzy’s on Saturday night, when she was shot shortly after 8pm.

The 19-year-old suffered gunshot wounds to her head and neck, and was taken to Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital, where she remained all week alongside her distraught family.

Three men – aged 38, 37, and 27 – were also shot outside Fitzy’s, and suffered abdomen wounds that required surgery.

On Thursday afternoon, police told media Schuster-Togiatau had died.

Officers continued to search for the shooter and accomplices.

Queensland Police did not say whether the other three injured men were previously known to police or to each other, but said they were being treated as victims.

More to come.
