“From what I understood, the woman on the scooter was doing exactly that, she was on a scooter coming down the sidewalk and she was an innocent bystander of what appears to be a violent interchange between cars,” said the police spokesperson Garrett Parten. “At this level, I can tell you that this kind of death affects our officers. It is heartbreaking to see this kind of violence lead to this kind of death.
