She leaves behind a two-year-old daughter. The Los Angeles Police Department said the shooting appears to be a random incident.

A spokesman from the Los Angeles Police Department said the shooting appears to be a ‘random incident’.

‘No matter what the circumstances are in life, nobody deserves to be shot while they’re sitting at an intersection waiting for the light to turn green. That’s just a very cold and callus act perpetrated by cowards that need to come to justice,’ Lt. Michael Kozak said.

No arrests have been made, and police are currently searching for surveillance video or witnesses to the incident.
