Accident – Death – Obituary News :
The family of a New Zealand woman, Patricia McKay, is mourning her tragic loss after she was killed in a horrifying incident outside a shopping mall in Southern California. The 68-year-old was struck by a vehicle following a robbery at the Fashion Island Mall in Newport Beach.
In a statement released by her family, they expressed their profound sadness at the sudden passing of their beloved mother, wife, and friend. They are struggling to come to terms with the devastating loss, and no words can adequately capture the depth of their grief.
McKay’s husband, Doug, who previously served as the chairman of BNZ, is undoubtedly devastated by the tragic turn of events.
The fatal incident unfolded when two men attempted to rob McKay, leading to her being fatally struck by a white sedan driven by a third suspect. The three individuals involved in the robbery were swiftly apprehended by the Newport Beach Police Department and now face serious charges, including homicide, robbery with a firearm, and conspiracy.
The suspects have been identified as 26-year-old Leroyernest Joseph McCrary from Compton, 18-year-old Jaden Cunningham from Lancaster, and 19-year-old Malachi Eddward Darnell from Los Angeles.
Following the tragic incident, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) has confirmed that New Zealand consular officials are providing support to McKay’s family during this difficult time. However, due to privacy considerations, no further details will be disclosed at this moment.
