Witnesses at the scene reported that a driver intentionally struck a woman and two men who were with her.

The victim, identified as 38-year-old Dixa Yamilet Rios Serbellon, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Serbellon's family says she and Escobar had known each other for about five years and had a history of domestic violence.
