A tragic turn of events unfolded on Tuesday as a California woman, once at the center of a notorious drunk-driving incident, was fatally shot in a drive-by attack. Obdulia Sanchez, who gained notoriety in 2017 for livestreaming a crash that claimed the life of her younger sister, had been released from prison just four years ago in September 2019. According to KSEE, during the recent incident, a man was also injured.

Reports from KCRA indicated that around the time of Sanchez’s death, witnesses heard approximately ten gunshots. This drive-by shooting marks another devastating chapter in the life of Sanchez, who was only 26 years old at the time of her death.

The 2017 incident involved an 18-year-old Sanchez using Instagram to livestream while driving recklessly in Los Banos. The vehicle overturned, tragically ejecting her 14-year-old sister and a 15-year-old friend. While the friend survived the ordeal with injuries, the younger sister lost her life. The aftermath was heartbreakingly captured on the livestream, leaving a lasting impact on those who witnessed it.

In 2017, Sanchez, then 18, was livestreaming on Instagram while driving in Los Banos when she flipped her vehicle. Sanchez’s 14-year-old sister and her sister’s 15-year-old friend were ejected from the car. Sanchez’s sister died, while the friend was injured.

The 14-year-old’s body was seen during the graphic ordeal.

“Jacqueline, please wake up. This is the last thing I wanted to happen… I killed my sister … I don’t care. I killed my sister. I know I’m going to prison, but I don’t care. I’m sorry, baby … rest in peace, sweetie,” Sanchez was heard saying.

Sanchez’s blood alcohol content was 0.106 roughly 90 minutes after the fatal wreck.

Sanchez was convicted of gross vehicular manslaughter, DUI, and child endangerment and sentenced to six years and four months in prison. However, she served less than half of her sentence before getting parole due to good behavior.

A month after her release, Sanchez was arrested for leading Stockton police on a high-speed chase. Police told KCRA that officers tried to pull her over for expired registration but she drove away.

KCRA reported that second shooting victim’s condition is unknown. A motive in Tuesday’s shooting was not disclosed.
