KPFA radio host and producer Mitch Jeserich identified the victim as Angel Cakes founder Jen Angel in a Facebook post.

Jeserich, who described himself as a friend of Angel's, wrote that the baker had sustained serious head injuries and was on life support.

"Some of her people who are providing updates asked to let others know," Jeserich wrote. "I hate that this happened at all and dread that it occurred in my own neighborhood."

OPD is continuing the investigation.
