The mother of a 19-year-old woman who was shot dead during a road rage incident in Oakland has slammed the sanctuary city’s mayor for protecting the illegal immigrant who is suspected of killing her.
Madisyn White-Carroll was fatally shot in December just blocks from her home after being involved in a collision in her car.
Roberto Martinez, a 19-year-old illegal immigrant living in nearby Hayward, has been identified by authorities as the shooter, but he has reportedly fled to Mexico.
Now, Madisyn’s mother Shauna White has slammed Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf and California’s sanctuary policies which protect illegal aliens.
She also slammed a decision by authorities not to release a picture of the suspect, which she says could have led to his capture.
‘I believe that California being a sanctuary state is protecting him and protecting his family,’ White told Tucker Carlson Tonight.

White says that Martinez became physically aggressive after he and Madisyn got into a fender bender around 9pm on December 10.
‘When she got out of the car to take care of it with the insurance, [Martinez] became aggressive,’ she said.
‘He’s well known over there to rob people…when she didn’t have anything else to offer him, he attacked her. He punched her in her face and continued to hit her.’
White says Martinez shot Madisyn when the teen attempted to film his license plate.
‘He let out 10 rounds on my daughter. He killed her. He just, he killed her,’ said White, as she held back tears.
Madisyn, who was found dead in her new Chevy Malibu, died 19 days after her 19th birthday.

White claims the suspect’s photo is being withheld due to Schaff’s ‘personal agenda’ and that the mayor is ‘lining her own pockets and her own agenda.’
She added: ‘I feel that she has no concern for the citizens that are already here, who have been born and raised here for generations.’
‘It’s more important to them to protect people who are not from this country, then to protect their own citizens…and the homeless and the children who are already here who are in need of services.’

‘She was such a good girl, she didn’t drink, smoke, none of that, no boyfriend. She was focused on figuring out how to use her intelligence,’ he said.
White added: ‘She was just very grounded, like an anchor to me. She was a very serious girl who didn’t go for nonsense. I’m a light(-hearted) person and can be silly, but her humor’s a little different. When she was little, some babies you can tickle, but you would have to perform to make her laugh.’
Erik Carrol, Madisyn’s father, told East Bay Times his daughter was a ‘good girl.’

A GoFundMe account, titled ‘Justice for Madisyn’, was created to donate to the White-Carrol family following Madisyn’s murder.
So far, more than $15,000 of a $30,000 goal has been raised.
Police and Crime Stoppers of Oakland previously offered a $10,000 money reward for information leading to Martinez’s arrest.
