(NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.) — A New Zealand tourist was killed during a robbery at a California mall after the suspects struck her with their vehicle as they fled the scene, police said.<\/p>\n

The incident unfolded Tuesday afternoon at Fashion Island, an outdoor shopping mall in Newport Beach, police said.<\/p>\n

The woman and her husband were walking in the area when two suspects, one armed with a handgun, approached and robbed them, according to the Newport Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n

“There was a struggle, and at this point we believe the suspects dragged her into the street,” Newport Beach Police spokesperson Sgt. Steve Oberon said during a presser Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The two suspects then attempted to get into a white Toyota Camry sedan driven by a third suspect to flee the scene, police said.<\/p>\n

“One of the suspects ran, while the vehicle fled and actually struck the female victim,” Oberon said.<\/p>\n

The woman — identified by police Wednesday as 68-year-old Patricia McKay — was pronounced dead at the scene. Her husband is believed to have been uninjured, Oberon said.<\/p>\n

The suspect who fled on foot fired three rounds before also getting in the vehicle, police said. No one was struck by the gunfire, police said.<\/p>\n

Officers responded to reports of a robbery and a pursuit of the suspect vehicle ensued. One of the suspects was arrested after fleeing on foot after the vehicle stopped in Cypress, police said.<\/p>\n

The two other suspects were also arrested in Los Angeles County after abandoning the vehicle and fleeing on foot, police said.<\/p>\n

The suspects were transported to the Newport Beach Police Department’s jail and booked for homicide, robbery with a firearm and conspiracy, police said.<\/p>\n

They were identified by police Wednesday as Leroyernest Joseph McCrary, 26, of Compton; Jaden Cunningham, 18, of Lancaster; and Malachi Eddward Darnell, 18, of Los Angeles. It is unclear if they have an attorney who can speak on their behalf.<\/p>\n

There are no outstanding suspects, police said. The incident remains under investigation.<\/p>\n

Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill decried the “stunning, staggering act.”<\/p>\n

“Newport Beach is a safe community and we’re mourning the loss of someone today, a loss that never should have happened,” he said during Tuesday’s press briefing. “Frankly, to hell with these guys. They came into our city, knowing that they were going to commit a crime, and a woman is dead today because of it. It’s heartbreaking, it’s a tragedy.”<\/p>\n
