A 17-year-old teen from Los Angeles, who was behind a shocking hit-and-run incident in which a mother and her baby who was in a stroller were injured, has been shot dead.

Kristopher Baca was killed in Palmdale, California, dying from gunshot wounds on Wednesday evening as he walked alone on the street.

Baca was sentenced to just seven-months in a juvenile probation camp following the crash on August 6 2021 when he was just 15 years old.

The sickening footage of the crash went viral, showing Baca smashing his black car into the victim – who has only been identified as Rachel – as she stood to the side of the road with her eight-month-old son Charlie in a stroller.

She was thrown over the top of the vehicle as it crashed into the baby.

Incredibly the baby boy was not seriously hurt while his mother received only cuts to her elbow.
