Eleven 9mm bullet casings were collected from the scene as evidence.
A gunman intercepted the 2018 Mercedes E300 and fired multiple shots without saying a word.
The police have ruled out a robbery, as no belongings were taken from the scene in Sabana Iglesia, Dominican Republic.
Maria, 28, died while being treated at a hospital, as reported by Need To Know.
Her passenger, Deni José Caraballo Calderón, was injured, is being treated, and is in stable condition.
The police are investigating the mysterious attack on Saturday (22 Mar) and have made several arrests.
They are seeking a 22-year-old man named Elías Enmanuel Díaz on suspicion of perpetrating the shooting.
Villasmil was originally from Zulia, west of Caracas, Venezuela.
According to her social media, she ran a fragrance business in Santiago de los Caballeros.
By Sunday (23 Mar), no loved ones had come forward to claim her body.
It is unclear if Deni is also originally from Venezuela.
Local media say he and another man were arrested in February on suspicion of illegal possession of firearms.
The authorities seized two 9mm pistols, magazines, and ammunition from them at the time.
The police are investigating whether the two incidents are linked as the search for Díaz continues.
