FIRST ON FOX: A Los Angeles 17-year-old who ran over a mother walking her baby in a stroller in 2021 and received just a few months of diversionary camp as punishment was gunned down in Palmdale, California, this week.

Kristopher Baca, whom Fox News Digital has previously not identified due to his youth, pleaded guilty to the hit-and-run last year.

Deputies found him dead with gunshot wounds in a Palmdale driveway on the 83600 block of 11th Street East on Wednesday evening, according to the sheriff's office.

Sources close to the investigation said he had been at a fast food restaurant earlier trying to "get with a girl."

As he walked home alone, a car pulled up next to him and an argument broke out. Someone in the vehicle opened fire, then sped off.

Justice is served.

Not the “proper” way, but at least served.

I wonder if the shooters knew who they were offing.

[Ann Archy]

YEAH!!

[wetgundog]

Fast Food will kill ya. In a roundabout way...

Whether or not the shooter was related to the mom and baby doesn’t matter, as the net result works for me.

I seriously think things should work like this. I think the actual Justice System is a huge failure. Let the people handle it.

[EEGator]

Because it does demographically.

Street justice. Filthy govt eon’t do it so somebody has to.

It’s looking more like this is going to be the case from now on.

FAMILY TORN APART Devastated gran pays tribute to little girl, 4, and mum after they were killed in crash by Audi ‘racing’ a BMW

That's from the UK, a few days ago. Three perps arrested, still not named, and no follow-up stories on just who the three are.

Sounds like a case of Assisted Suicide.

Even if this driver may not have known the assistant.

[chajin]

There were at least two episodes of The First 48 where the killer got off, only to be murdered himself in an unrelated incident.

Instant karma gonna get ya....

"I seriously think things should work like this. I think the actual Justice System is a huge failure. Let the people handle it."

I don't know. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to let folks ride around and shoot people so we can cheer when they hit a bad guy.
