An Arizona influencer was shot and killed after driving into the crossfire of a road rage incident.
Yarely Ashley Hermosillo, 27, was struck by a stray bullet on Friday after two other drivers started fighting at a red light.
Glendale police said Jesus Preciado Dousten, 33, was waiting in the center lane while the driver he argued with was stopped in the right lane.
Hermosillo's vehicle came to a stop in the left lane and was not involved in the fight. Her boyfriend was driving the car, while she sat in the passenger seat, and her mother and four-year-old son were in the back.
As the other vehicles continued to fight, Dousten allegedly pulled out a handgun, pointed it at his own driver's side window and fired a single shot at random.
The bullet went through the passenger window of the car on his left and struck Hermosillo in the head.
Hermosillo's boyfriend rushed her to a nearby hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
'My question still is, why would you just randomly shoot the other way? He obviously didn't know the other car was there,' Glendale Police Sgt Brian Hoskins told AZ Family.
'That's the thing, as gun owners, you have to know where you're shooting, what you're pointing at. You know, those are the responsibilities of being a responsible gun owner. You can't just fire rounds randomly throughout. Specifically, a high, highly populated city.'
Police used surveillance footage to identify Dousten as the driver and tracked him down.
'Tracking from you know one location to another, switching cameras and continuing to follow the individual,' Hoskins said.
Dousten was arrested, and police executed a search warrant at a home he had visited after the shooting and recovered two handguns.
He has been charged with second-degree murder, aggravated assault, misconduct involving weapons and endangerment, and is being held on $1 million bond.
Hermosillo's family has started a GoFundMe to cover funeral expenses for the influencer.
She amassed over 300,000 followers across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok for her stay-at-home mom and cooking content.
'Yarely was a loving wife, a devoted mother, and a beautiful soul whose light touched everyone who knew her,' her family said.
'She leaves behind her husband and their 4-year-old son, who now face an unimaginable loss.
'Yarely's greatest joy in life was being a mother, and she poured her heart into caring for her little boy.
'She was an innocent victim caught in the middle of a road rage incident between others, leaving her family and friends devastated.'
