One passenger, 24-year-old Kayli Lopez, died at the hospital from her injuries. The male passenger was treated at a hospital but expected to survive.

Police were able to identify Price and Hooker through witness interviews, surveillance video and cell phone records. Records indicate the two suspects were in a romantic relationship.

Both have been charged with murder.

The arrest affidavit did not specify a motive for the shooting.

Family remembers victim

Lopez's husband tells FOX 4's Peyton Yager that Lopez said she was going out to get food before the shooting occurred. Her family did not know the other individual in the SUV.

The 24-year-old leaves behind four children, including an infant, as well as a family wondering why someone would commit a crime like this.

"She was a mother. She was a good student. She got married. She owned her own home and owned her business," Omar Lopez continued. "I can't even go into her house. It's hard, you know…"
