A 26-year-old woman who had registered to take summer classes at Santa Monica College died Sunday from wounds she suffered in a shooting spree Friday that left four others, including her father, dead.
Marcela Franco was with her father, Carlos Navarro Franco, 68, in an SUV on campus when they were shot. She was going to buy textbooks at the time.
Carlos Navarro Franco died; Marcela Franco was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
Relative Alfred Creollo told CNN Sunday that Marcela Franco had died. College President Chui L.Tsang also confirmed the death.
"Her family was with her by her side," Tsang said in a message to the school community. "Our deepest sympathies go to the Franco family. At the appropriate time, the College will convene a campus-wide memorial."
The school has created a fund honoring the Franco family.
The suspect in the shootings has been identified by Santa Monica police as John Zawahri.
Authorities say he killed his father, Samir "Sam" Zawahri, and brother, Chris Zawahri, in a Santa Monica house before carjacking a woman and firing at a public bus on Friday.
Scant details are trickling in about Zawahri, who was killed by police at Santa Monica College on Friday -- the day before his 24th birthday.
The superintendent of the Santa Monica-Malibu school district said Zawahri attended a high school for students behind in academic credits in 2006.
