Gang related?

Melanie Mar 17, 2019 - 8:35 am

I wonder if the cameras they installed will be able to shine some light on the situation?

No excuses Mar 17, 2019 - 8:40 am

Road rage at its finest.

Stephanie Mar 17, 2019 - 9:06 am

It was not gang related. She was such a sweet girl in school. She was so very young and innocent. RIP sweet girl.

Nick Mar 17, 2019 - 10:43 am

Was it a random shooting? Bullet holes – I think of gang violence too. Who else gets shot at on the freeway.

Debra Mar 17, 2019 - 1:14 pm

Stop trolling, this young lady was not ever related to any gang. Show respect and leave this family to grieve for their loss.

Melanie Mar 17, 2019 - 1:53 pm

Freeway shootings are gang related or road rage. Stop whining and deal with reality. The truth hurts. If you can’t handle the opinions of total strangers, stop reading internet comments. This is a news article, not an obituary. Families should be seeking comfort with family and friends (or their church). Not on the internet where people are entitled to speak their minds, whether you like it or not.

Tammy Mar 17, 2019 - 7:59 pm

Right on, Melanie! I couldn’t have said it better.

Al s-h Mar 19, 2019 - 10:05 am

Dude you dumb I know her personally she was a daddy’s girl ..she was not gang affiliated….dumb fuck

FYI Mar 17, 2019 - 12:19 pm

Wake up folks on ECT. Everyone on here has done some type of road rage. Whether it’s not letting people get in front of you or speeding up so that people can’t pass you. Then you start giving each other the finger which leads to chasing each other. Y’all get the picture. Then some people take it to the level which is having to result in someone getting shot and killed. All for what? Don’t engage in someone’s ignorant driving. If you do, you may end up getting ran off the road and crash or worse, like shot and killed in the middle of the day.

Mizluckett Mar 17, 2019 - 3:47 pm

Melanie your such a heartless bitch. Cleary they know her two different people just told you it’s not gang related. stop trolling bitch

Melanie Mar 18, 2019 - 6:18 pm

It was on the news that it’s gang related, f**king bitch. It’s not trolling. It’s the truth.

Melanie Mar 18, 2019 - 6:20 pm

It was on the news that’s it’s gang related. You’re the b.

Richard Mar 21, 2019 - 10:58 pm

How do YOU know they knew her?

Just saying Mar 17, 2019 - 8:36 pm

To add on to Melanie it doesn’t mean she could have been the one in the gang it could have been a random act from a member having to prove loyaltys. But there also could be a side of someone you never knew. Just because she was sweet and innocent doesn’t mean she didn’t have a dirty secret. Not talking down or intend disrespect. May this young lady rest in peace and may the family and friends get the closure they need.

Katrina Williams Mar 17, 2019 - 9:27 pm

Maybe it was mistaken identity Melanie . Perhaps strangers shouldn’t make assumptions. If it was road rage that was a ridiculous way to handle it. By the way I do not know this girl I’m just not an inconsiderate human being like yourself.

Nick Mar 18, 2019 - 8:34 am

If it’s road rage, the rest of us on the freeway are at risk for your irresponsible, lowlife ways on the freeway. I agree with Melanie. Don’t risk the lives of my family and friends because you drive like an idiot. Freeway shootings of a woman alone are NOT mistaken identity. Get real.

Or maybe it was gang related. Just because someone says it wasn’t doesn’t mean it’s true.

This isn’t a memorial for her family. This is a blog. Ever heard of freedom of speech?

FYI Mar 18, 2019 - 9:45 am

Nick, it is road rage. It happens 24/7. Unfortunately the people that engage in it are putting everyone else in danger. Definitely not mistaken identity and definitely not gang related. One other theory, she probably slept with someone’s husband, bf or gf.

Melanie Mar 18, 2019 - 9:59 am

They are putting everyone else in danger. Wake up enablers.

FYI Mar 18, 2019 - 4:09 pm

I’ll be the first to say I was wrong about this not being gang related. Updated news reports just came out that it’s gang related. Maybe a retaliation from the one from a few years ago on highway 4 near railroad where a female driver was shot and killed.

Melanie Mar 18, 2019 - 6:17 pm

I TOLD YOU SO! FREEWAY SHOOTINGS – ESPECIALY IN AREAS WHERE THERE ARE GANGS ARE GANG RELATED!

Nick Mar 18, 2019 - 6:50 pm

Melanie – you were right. I thought it was gang related too. Some people can’t handle the truth. And they’re in denial that family and friends might be associated with gangs. Get these idiots off the freeway, and quit putting the rest of us innocent people at risk. Lowlifes.

FYI Mar 18, 2019 - 8:59 pm

Melanie you were right! Now go down and hookup your man like a good girl does! He will be happy!

Al s-h Mar 19, 2019 - 10:10 am

I’ve read all these comments and I think everyone that’s on this page is at least 18 years old you all know better been to disrespect the dead having no respect for the girl or her family I know the family personally I know the father very well known him for over 30 years this girl was not involved in gangs she was a good girl she was a daddy’s girl she was not involved with anyone that would do harm to her so who are you to say that it was gang-related who are you to disrespect her life and not even know her you guys assume too much before information is come out yes everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but it’s have some respect for the family who is grieving and the young lady that lost her life no one knows the facts until the facts come out no one knows whether the shooter was white or black no one knows whether it was a boyfriend or girlfriend for that matter no one knows anything but just don’t assume and take potshots at these young ladies murder She has a family she has people who love her and you guys are saying all this negative stuff about the situation and they haven’t even later the rest yet

Al holmes Mar 20, 2019 - 4:33 am

I know this family personally I would ask you guys stop saying that it was gang-related this young lady was a daddy’s girl she was not involved in games she worked she went to school she had no game affiliation or ties so please stop saying that have respect for the the victim and have respect for her family during this time of morning

Al holmes Mar 20, 2019 - 4:35 am

Typo….. she was not in GANGS
TYPO…..during this time of mourning

Al holmes Mar 20, 2019 - 4:38 am

Ps…. I’ll have you all know that the Hillary of one of the most respected families in the city of Pittsburgh they’re not gang affiliated I don’t know why you guys would even say this without even knowing people you just assuming things all of you you sound like a bunch of racist what you’re racist assumptions just because a shooting happened in Pittsburgh and she happened to be an African-American oh she’s in the gangs old her families gang affiliated or the lowlifes all the douchebags you guys are pathetic you rgrown immature people

Melanie Mar 20, 2019 - 6:12 pm

I didn’t know she was black. How would I know? ALL freeway shootings are gang related or road rage. WTF else would it be? Get the hell out of DENIAL. It’s not assumptions. It’s what is being reported by the cops. And stay away from gang members. You don’t want to end up dead.

STEVE Mar 21, 2019 - 11:03 pm

Hillary? I thought she lived in New York state and also has a house in the Georgetown section of DC. She is the one who lost the presidential election… with a CRUSHING defeat!

Al holmes Mar 20, 2019 - 4:53 am

Thr Hillary family is one of the finest families in Pittsburg. so please stop saying that I did not know I was going to work because my family is gang affiliated can I cook it you guys don’t even know them so please stop saying that they’re not affiliated with any gangs

Jg Mar 20, 2019 - 7:59 am

Hey Holmes,
Playing the race card is getting old. You are asking people to show respect and not to judge, yet you throw out the over used race card.
Hypocritical?

Nick Mar 20, 2019 - 4:12 pm

The authorities said it’s gang related. I don’t care about her family. I care about innocent people on the roads. Are we clear?

Al s-h Mar 21, 2019 - 12:55 am

Nick , no we are not CLEAR OF COURSE YOU DONT UNSYMPATHETIC AND UN CARRYING JUST LIKE THE SHOOTER
JG… AND TO IM NOT PLAYING THE RACE CARD ALL OF YOU ARE. YOU ALL PERCEIVED IT WAS GANG RELATED 1, ITS IN PITTSBURG 2. SHE WAS BLACK 3. PITTSBURG HAS A LARG BLACK POP AND GANG ACTIVITY 4. THE MEDIA AND YOU ARE THE ONES PLAYING THE RACE CARD….YOU PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT SMH THE COMMENTS, I GUESS THE FRUIT DONT FALL FAR FROM THE TREE…….YOU ALL LEARNED HATE OR IGNORANCE FROM HOME I GUESS

FYI Mar 21, 2019 - 6:38 am

The shooting happened in Concord not Pittsburg. Al, you’ve heard it before. If you don’t like what you see posted on here, then don’t read it and don’t comment about it period. Plain and simple. Melanie, did you get down and take care of your man for guessing that it was gang related? Do it before they change the motive to road rage.

FYI Mar 21, 2019 - 6:51 am

Also Al, did you know that the majority of African Americans don’t like law enforcement. Now we know that this young girl was African American, now they want help from law enforcement because their family lost a child. Other than that, they could care less about law enforcement. Al I’m sure you don’t care much for law enforcement, now you’re asking for help for the girl’s family in solving this shooting?
Jg is on point about you being a hypocrite.

Nick Mar 21, 2019 - 8:17 am

For those of you who don’t think it was gang related, why was she shot? You don’t shoot someone in broad daylight on the freeway for lane changes or forgetting to use your blinker. Or for no reason at all. So tell us your theory.

And just because she wasn’t in a gang herself doesn’t mean she didn’t associate or date gang members.

FYI is correct. The black community says FU to law enforcement – until they need them.

I would think it was gang related if the victim or shooter was white. I had no idea what race she is, nor do I care.

Al s-h Mar 21, 2019 - 10:35 am

Fyi. Actually it was on the border of Bay Point which is considered Pittsburg and Concord and your assessment of African Americans not liking law enforcement is absolutely wrong I happen to like law enforcement my family likes law enforcement your assessment of us not liking law enforcement is stupid you guys are some stupid nuts man on this I’m really starting to see how some Caucasian thinks furthermore you don’t know what I like and how I think you don’t know how and what African Americans think you sound like a bit of a racist and you’re absolutely a coward because you have your name as FYI you don’t even have your name listed so your conversation means nothing

Rip Des Mar 21, 2019 - 3:22 pm

This is ridiculous!!!! African Americans don’t like cops till they need them!!! WTF welp I guess they still don’t like them because all they want to do is make this young lady look as if her MURDER was gang related. All I can do is shake my head. This beautiful young lady was nothing but sweet grew up in the church, had a loving and caring family this Tragedy is Devastating. Has any one ever hear of wrong place wrong time. God called her home unfortunately it’s not the way anyone would like to see their love one go however she was called home. The most important thing is finding out who killed her and why!!! Respect the family pray for them during this time. And think if this was your friend,sister,cousin,daughter you wouldn’t dare want to read the ridiculous things you are saying period!!!!

FYI Mar 21, 2019 - 4:59 pm

Al you’re ignorant. This shooting occurred in the city of Concord period. Ask the victim’s dad to get clarification. Or read a little better. Nothing says it occurred on the border of Bay Point. You speak for yourself and your family members about liking law enforcement. Take your own poll. Ask African Americans if they like law enforcement. You can’t handle the truth about that. They always play the race card when being contacted by law enforcement for whatever reason. If my conversation means nothing to you, then why respond to it? Nick you’re right, it really doesn’t matter what race of the victim or the shooter is. No one brought up race until Al brought up the race of the victim. All that was said in the beginning was, gang related or road rage. And you started by using “Al s-h” and then decided to use a name on later posts. Actually people have been shot here in the entire Bay Area and USA (some killed, some not) during a road rage incident. So it’s not uncommon. Google it.

Nick Mar 21, 2019 - 7:38 pm

I read online her brother died a month ago. I hope that wasn’t gang related.

Rip Des&D Mar 22, 2019 - 9:40 am

Her brother passed in his sleep!!!! Nothing gang related about that right!!!! Losing children within a year of each other is way to much for me to fathom. Just pls do some respect.

Melanie Mar 22, 2019 - 8:26 pm

Her family and friends (or whomever is posting comments) still haven’t answered the question. If you don’t think it was gang related, why was she shot? And why do the cops think it was gang related? And it’s not because she’s black. Most black people aren’t gang members. Most people (of any race) aren’t gang members.

People aren’t shot on the freeway for no reason. Those bullets could have killed innocent drivers.

Tracy Mar 23, 2019 - 3:23 pm

I just find it deeply sad.that a life was loss regardless of what the facts reveal, regardless of religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, criminal or not! My sincerest condolences and prayers going out to the family and friends of this young lady!!! All the arguing and nonsense isn’t productive, seems a bit juvenile and the general content and context of the conversations pointless.

Nick Mar 24, 2019 - 8:03 am

It’s not pointless. Gang violence and road rage puts ALL OF US AT RISK. It could kill innocent people – like my family and friends. If you’re not angered by freeway shootings, you should be. My empathy and compassion are for innocent people who can be killed by this violence. Don’t be naïve.

I do understand your point that a life was lost. But if you’re endangering the general public (gang activity or road rage) it needs to be addressed, and it needs to stop. It’s ILLEGAL.

Debra Mar 25, 2019 - 1:20 pm

But you can’t consider the possibility that this young woman is an innocent victim? How can anyone factually speak on who did this and why until a perpetrator has been identified?

Nick Mar 25, 2019 - 4:23 pm

Law enforcement said it’s gang related. Talk to them, not me. They know what they’re doing. And only they know why they think that.

If you want to be naïve (or ignorant) as to why shootings happen on the freeway – that’s your business. I’m not that foolish.
