Road Rage Victim's Son Watched Mom 'Die in Front of Him' David Lohr Posted: 10/28/2014 3:26 pm EDT Updated: 10/28/2014 3:59 pm EDT Huffington Post http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/28/perla-avina_n_6062466.html . .A California family has been left grief-stricken as they try to come to terms with an apparent road rage incident that left a 30-year-old mother of four dead Sunday afternoon, and her unknown killer on the run.
"I just hope that whoever is responsible is seriously sitting there and thinking about what they did," Esmeralda Avina told The Huffington Post on Tuesday.
Avina's sister, Perla Avina, also known as Perla Evelyn Avina Anaya Lopez, was killed Sunday afternoon, after an unknown individual fired multiple shots into her family's black 1998 Toyota Camry.
"They took a person's life," Esmeralda Avina said. "They took a mother, a wife, a sister and a daughter, from many people who loved her. This is very hard on us. I don't know how people are able to do things like this."
According to Johnna Watson, a spokesperson for the Oakland Police Department, Perla Avina's husband, Luis Lopez Gallegos, was driving the couple back from an East Oakland grocery store at the time of the shooting.
"We do believe it is road rage based on witness information and what the husband said," Watson told HuffPost. "We can't go into the exact details right now because the suspect is still out there, but we do know that there was a confrontation and during that confrontation, the suspect shot at the victim's vehicle [while] the suspect was in a vehicle traveling in the same direction."
. snip .A neighbor, 54-year-old Dwayne Jackson, was outside when Gallegos pulled up in his bullet-ridden Camry.
"He pulled up really abrupt, halfway in the driveway and called to me," Jackson told Bay Area News Group. "He said, 'D, call 911. My wife's been shot.' We pulled her out of the car and I started giving her CPR, but I pretty much knew she was gone."
Paramedics responded, but there was nothing they could do and Avina was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
. snip ."Her oldest child got to witness his mom die in front of him," she said. "My niece is only a year and a half and she's not even going to know her mother."
The devastated woman said her sister had been married to Gallegos for three years.
"My sister was married almost three years now, but she was with my brother-in-law for 16 years," she said, adding that her sister and brother-in-law had been high school sweethearts.
