Authorities identified the victim as Ashley Waters, who was reportedly picking up her boyfriend at the time of the shooting.
 
On Monday around 1:45 a.m., deputies from the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office came across a reportedly stolen 2007 gray Toyota Camry in a carjacking in Oakland. Deputies put on their lights and sirens, but the driver kept going.
 
While going west on Davis Street in San Leadro, the driver lost control of the Camry and slammed into a tree head-on near Preda Street.

A third occupant, a 14-year-old girl in the back seat, needed rescuing after her foot became trapped in the wreckage. Deputies freed her and took her to a hospital for treatment.
