A teen named Savannah Graziano was tragically killed after being caught in the crossfire during a shootout near Hesperia, California.
The incident went down on Tuesday morning, and it occurred as deputies were homing in on the teen’s father, Anthony Graziano.
For context, Anthony was wanted for his suspected role in the killing of his wife, and he was believed to have abducted the pair’s daughter before going on the run.
Dicus also noted that the vehicle was “constantly shooting back at the deputies” during the pursuit.
“As a result of that, a fire fight ensued. During that fire fight, the suspect vehicle comes to rest — at which time a suspect exits the passenger side of the vehicle wearing tactical gear,” Dicus shared. “That subject starts to run toward Sheriff’s Deputies and during the gunfire goes down.”
Authorities identified the passenger-side suspect who attempted to flee the vehicle as Savannah Graziano, NBC News reports.
