A father is speaking out in hopes of getting answers after his daughter was shot in the head while driving on the 101 Freeway over the weekend. As his daughter fights for her life, he fights for justice and hopes that someone can come forward and help him locate his daughter's shooter.

The initial incident happened back on Dec. 17 at around 5:15 p.m, when Ronni Newt, 26-years-old, was driving along the northbound lanes of the 101 in Tarzana, just near the White Oak Avenue off-ramp. It was then that a car-to-car shooting occurred, causing the woman to crash her car in the moments after.

"She had got off work, she went home, she got dressed and she was driving to the valley to visit a couple friends," said the woman's father, Robert Newt.
