San Francisco interstate shooting kills 5-year-old girl on way to family birthday dinner
A 5-year-old girl died after she suffered a gunshot wound on Interstate 880 — roughly two years after a 1-year-old died on the same highway in a similar case.
A highway shooting killed a 5-year-old girl who was riding with her family to a restaurant for a birthday party outside San Francisco Saturday, according to authorities and friends of the victims.
Her family flagged down a California Highway Patrol officer, who was making a traffic stop on Interstate 880, to ask for help because the girl had been shot in the backseat, authorities said.
Eliyanah Crisostomo, 5, was identified as the victim in a GoFundMe page set up by a family friend. She would have celebrated her own birthday on April 21.
Hours later, officers from the Santa Cruz Police Department helped pull over a vehicle and recovered a gun that three suspects allegedly tossed out a window on Highway 17.
It was unclear whether their arrest was connected to the shooting. State police, who are leading the I-880 investigation, said they were still investigating.
