A California woman who once shocked the nation after livestreaming the aftermath of a fatal crash that killed her teenage sister has now died in a violent drive-by shooting, authorities say.

Obdulia Sanchez, 26, was killed in Stockton, California, in December 2025 after gunfire erupted in what investigators described as a targeted shooting.

Nearly three months later, authorities say they have arrested a suspect.

On Friday, the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office announced that Monica Barajas had been taken into custody in connection with the killing. Barajas has been charged with murder and attempted murder and was booked into the San Joaquin County Jail. She is scheduled to be arraigned in court Monday.

Deputies originally responded to reports of gunfire at a location in Stockton where they found Sanchez and an unidentified man suffering from gunshot wounds.

Both victims were rushed to a nearby hospital.

Sanchez later died from her injuries, while the male victim survived.

The shooting marked a dramatic and violent end to the life of a woman whose name became infamous across the United States nearly a decade earlier.

In 2017, Sanchez was just 18 years old when she crashed a car while driving intoxicated and livestreaming on Instagram.

Her 14-year-old sister, Jacqueline Sanchez, was riding in the vehicle.

The crash proved fatal for the younger girl.

Instead of stopping the livestream after the crash, Sanchez continued recording, capturing disturbing images of her sister’s body while addressing viewers directly.

The footage spread widely across social media and became one of the most widely discussed and disturbing livestream incidents of the decade.

Authorities later charged Sanchez with gross vehicular manslaughter, DUI and child endangerment.

She ultimately pleaded no contest to the charges and was sentenced to prison.

During her sentencing hearing, Sanchez delivered an emotional statement expressing regret over her actions.

“I feel like such an idiot,” she said at the time. “Why did God choose me to be the older sister? I can’t even do my job right.”

In a letter later obtained by local CBS affiliate KGPE, Sanchez also attempted to explain why she continued livestreaming even after the crash.

“I made that video because I knew I had more than 5,000 followers,” she wrote.

She said she believed the attention might generate financial support for her family.

“It was the only way my sister would get a decent burial,” Sanchez wrote. “I anticipated the public donating money because my family isn’t rich.”

Another passenger — a 15-year-old girl — was also in the car during the 2017 crash. She survived but suffered injuries.

Sanchez served time in prison before being released early. She later had another encounter with law enforcement in 2019, though details surrounding that incident were not immediately clear.

Authorities have not publicly disclosed a possible motive for the Stockton shooting that ended her life.

Investigators say they identified Barajas as a suspect after executing a search warrant at a Stockton residence on March 12.

She now faces both murder and attempted murder charges related to the attack.

The investigation remains ongoing as authorities work to determine what led to the fatal drive-by shooting.
