A 1968-1970 white Ford four door passenger car occupied by four Hispanic males in their early 20’s reportedly pulled alongside multiple vehicles and fired a handgun indiscriminately into the passenger compartments of multiple vehicles.
They allegedly struck a total of three people. Two of the victims survived but a 23-year-old pregnant female, died from her injuries which also resulted in the death of her unborn child.
