Her body had several gunshot wounds.
Bent is the second female to be killed on Third Street since the start of the week.

A man, 23-year-old Elvin James, was killed metres away during that attack.
Meanwhile, while at Third Street this morning, police investigators were called to another fatal shooting at Darling Street.
A man was shot and subsequently rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
