Hernandez and her boyfriend were leaving the Shell gas station on Airtex Drive and Ella Boulevard when a driver in a white, four-door sedan with tinted windows and a paper license plate sped up beside them and shot into their car, according to deputies.
The white sedan continued eastbound on Airtex Drive towards I-45, deputies said. Sgt. Ben Beall of HCSO said the incident may be road rage, but he added that the driver claimed that there was no prior interaction with the shooter.
“According to the driver, he said there was no interaction before that. They did stop at the gas station just west of us here and he said he has no idea where the vehicle came from. It just came out of nowhere started shooting at him,” Sgt. Beall said. Hernandez’s family told ABC13 that the soon-to-be mom was excited about the future and getting ready to open a nail business.
Her baby was going to be the first grandchild and nephew of the family. They want whoever did this to be held responsible. Please drop a quick prayer for family members who are deeply affected! Rip to her and the baby
