A 38-year-old woman died after being dragged alongside a vehicle and shot during an apparent robbery attempt at a Westminster park, authorities said Sunday. Two suspects were arrested.<\/p>\n

\"Lanow.westminster1\"<\/img><\/a> <\/span> Tuyet Thi Huynh of Garden Grove was in Russell Paris Park at about 11:30 p.m., talking to a man and a woman sitting in a vehicle, Westminster Police Department spokesman Van Woodson said. The passenger of the car allegedly grabbed Huynh\u2019s purse as the driver sped away, dragging the woman for several blocks. One of the suspects then shot Huynh, who fell near the intersection of Palos Verdes Avenue and Fox Hills Street, according to police.<\/p>\n

\"ME.Westminster01\"<\/img><\/a> Huynh\u2019s boyfriend, who witnessed the incident, drove after the suspects and was shot at during the pursuit, Woodson said. A deputy from the Orange County Sheriff\u2019s Department saw the two speeding cars and stopped the vehicles. After the boyfriend explained what had happened, the deputy detained Christopher Yu, 18, of Fountain Valley, and Lynn Quach, 19, of Garden Grove, for questioning. Both have been charged with murder and attempted murder.<\/p>\n

Huynh was transported by the Orange County Fire Authority to UCI Medical Center, where she later died.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call Westminster police at (714) 898-3315.<\/p>\n
