A 19-year-old attempted carjacking victim was killed in Philadelphia during a violent rampage last Thursday that left a suspected shooter killed by cops, according to reports.
Skylar Owen was killed as a man attempted to steal her car by firing into it, according to People. A male passenger in Owen's car was wounded by the gunfire, but he was able to escape.
Stanley Cochran, the alleged 29-year-old suspect, that cops called a "deranged individual” fired an AK-47-style assault rifle at Owen's car, a second car and police before being shot and killed.
"Yesterday a violent and armed individual began a cycle of events that will forever change the lives of countless people, including a very young, innocent woman whose life was just beginning," Commissioner Danielle Outlaw of the Philadelphia Police Department said.
After crashing a stolen car, Cochran then tried to carjack another car but the woman driving was able to get away unscathed.
