South Yorkshire Police said their Major Crime Unit is leading the investigation into the shooting and have arrested three people in connection to the woman’s death.
Two 30-year-old men and a 32-year-old woman were taken into police custody early this morning where they are currently being held.
Assistant Chief Constable Colin McFarlane said: “This is a devastating incident which has resulted in the death of a young woman while on a night out during the bank holiday weekend in Sheffield.
“First and foremost, our thoughts are with her family and everyone who knew and loved her.
“Our investigation is being led by our Major Crime Team, and as part of our inquiries, three people have been arrested on suspicion of murder.
“A man and woman were arrested near Stockport in Greater Manchester early this morning and a further man has been detained here in Sheffield.
“Our officers have been working extremely hard to piece together the events surrounding the shooting.
“While our investigation is in its early stages, we will continue to have a significant presence at the scene in the area today and in the coming days.
“Bank holidays are one of the busiest times of the year, and we know that there were people in the area around West Street and Eldon Street who saw what happened or know who is responsible.
“If this is you, please share what you know either directly to us, or completely anonymously via Crimestoppers. Now is not the time to stay silent.
“Gun crime causes unbearable tragedy and the victim and her family deserve answers.
“We will work tirelessly to provide these answers and to put those responsible before the courts.”
