A 17-year-old California teenager, who in 2021 stole a car and rammed it into a mother walking with her baby and later received a light punishment, was on Wednesday shot to death in the street.

Kristopher Baca, who was sentenced to just several months in a juvenile probation camp for the 2021 crime, was shot and killed on Jan. 18 in Palmdale, according to Det. Ray Lugo of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, the LA Times reports.
