DIAMOND BAR, CA — One of the people charged in the killing of 6-year-old Aiden Leos during a road rage incident on the 55 Freeway last month was a graduate of Diamond Bar High School, according to reports.
Wynne Lee, 23, grew up in the San Gabriel Valley and attended the high school before enrolling at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Lee and her boyfriend, 24-year-old Marcus Anthony Eriz, were the targets of a two-week manhunt across the Southland after a man and woman in a white van shot at a vehicle driven by a woman taking her child to school on May 21. Leo was fatally shot when a bullet entered through the trunk of his mother's car before going through the back of his booster seat, according to the Orange County district attorney's office.

It’s believed that Lee was driving the vehicle and Eriz fired the fatal shot, according to California High Patrol.
A partial license plate captured by traffic cameras led police to a white 2018 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen SE that was registered to Lee’s father in Diamond Bar, the Times reported. Lee and Eriz were arrested at their home Sunday in Costa Mesa, CHP said. The van was recovered from the garage of a home in Whittier belonging to one of Eriz's relatives.
