MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Police say three suspects have been arrested in a shooting that left a mother of four dead, reports CBS affiliate WREG.

Police say 27-year-old Chrystal Webster was shot and killed after three teens held up her boyfriend for cash and drugs outside her Memphis apartment Nov. 8, according to the station. The boyfriend was shot as well, but he is expected to survive.

Webster's four children were reportedly at the apartment during the shooting.

Police later arrested 19-year-old Isiah Smith, a 15-year-old and a 14-year-old, reports WREG.
