The CHP says gang violence is to blame for a deadly shooting on an East Bay freeway over the weekend. Twenty-five-year-old Destinee Hillary died on Highway 4 after her car hit a guardrail on Saturday afternoon. CHP officers found bullet holes in the side of her car. Two more non-fatal freeway shootings followed on Sunday in Livermore and Monday in Richmond, but investigators say the three cases aren’t related. According to the CHP, the victims appear to have been targeted and the incidents are very likely gang-related. There have been nearly 200 shootings on Bay Area freeways since late 2015, in which nine people were killed and 65 others injured.
