Authorities Monday reported the death of an 18-year- old motorist whose car plowed into a Wendy’s restaurant after a vehicle-to- vehicle shooting in Panorama City and sought the public’s help to find the shooter.
Alexis Saldana died at a hospital about 4:45 p.m. Saturday, the Los Angeles Police Department reported.
The crash, which was reported at 10:51 p.m. Friday in the area of Roscoe and Van Nuys boulevards, came after Saldana was shot at a nearby Walmart parking lot, according to Lt. Paul McLaughlin of the LAPD’s Mission Division.
The suspect drove away in a black SUV, and Saldana drove a short distance before losing control of his car, which ended up completely inside the restaurant. McLaughlin said no one else was injured in the crash as the dining room was closed at the time.
LAPD Valley Bureau homicide detectives asked anyone with information on the shooting to call them at (818) 374-1934, or (877) LAPD-247.
