A freeway shooting over the weekend has claimed the life of a San Francisco mother of six.
Police say 31-year-old Milika Fields died in San Francisco General Hospital after being shot as she drove her minivan on Highway 101 with her twin toddlers and her younger brother Saturday night.
Her two-year-old son and 18-year-old brother were also hit by gunfire. Police say they were hit in the arms, and are expected to survive. The other two-year-old boy was not injured.
A relative says Fields had six children, with the oldest being a
12-year-old boy, and the two youngest being the set of two-year-old
twins.
Police say the shooting on the 101 off-ramp at Mission Street in San Francisco may have been prompted by road rage.
Officers responding to reports of gunfire around 7:15 p.m. they found a silver Mazda MPV minivan riddled with bullet holes and three victims with gunshot wounds, SFPD Sgt. Neville Gittens said.
Fields had been driving the minivan on the highway and was at the off-ramp when the shooting occurred. She then took the off-ramp and crashed into a San Francisco Muni bus, according to Gittens. No one on the bus was hurt.
Investigators were seeking a white car believed to be a Toyota or Honda in connection with the fatal shooting and asked anyone who may have witnessed the incident to contact police.
He indicated that the suspect vehicle being sought by police was occupied by two black females and two black males.
