Newly released court documents reveal the suspect told investigators she fired the gun 'accidentally' after Mohs, a loss prevention employee, tried to wrestle a stolen item out of her hands. She then took off in a getaway car driven by a 31-year-old man, while holding her toddler.
"As soon as there was confirmation of where that vehicle was and that vehicle was stopped, the deputies were able to quickly make contact and get those folks into custody," Lt. Tya Modeste, a spokesperson for the Alameda County Sheriff's Office said.
When a deputy went back to check on her and move the patrol car, that's when they realized, something was terribly wrong. They say, despite being handcuffed, she was somehow able to wrap a seatbelt around her neck three times. "Just because he's not here right now, doesn't mean that all of those lives, all of the people that he touched, aren't going to pass that forward," Lorie Mohs, the victim's mother said. "Blake had a short life. Only 26 years. But he lived it."
