The case took place in the city of Bakersfield, California with Victoria Anna Marie Hampton, 61, who had her car stolen on March 19, 2023. The woman tracked the vehicle using an AirTag and confronted the bandits when she found the place where her car was left.
The bandits reacted with gunfire and Victoria was shot in the head. The victim was found by police, she remained hospitalized, but did not resist her injuries and died on April 1st. The four thieves were arrested and charged with auto theft, conspiracy and murder.
This is an example of why users should not track stolen items on their own. The ideal is always to notify the local authorities so that they can rescue the asset to avoid violent conflicts like this one that ended with the loss of a life.
