Missing LA woman shot, yanked from car by kidnapper: 'We're scared,' relative says

Police are searching for missing California woman Andrea Vasquez who was with her boyfriend Sunday when she was shot and yanked from his car, according to her family and police.

Vasquez, 19, and her boyfriend were in the parking stalls area of Penn Park in Whittier about 20 miles southeast of Los Angeles shortly after midnight.

"An armed suspect approached their vehicle and fired a weapon in their direction," according to the Whittier Police Department.

The boyfriend fled the gunfire and when he returned he "discovered blood" near his vehicle" and Vasquez was gone, police said.

Her sister, Edlyn Vasquez, with whom she lives in Los Angeles, put out a plea on Facebook for the public's help.

"My sister was shot and kidnapped at Penn Park," she wrote. "Her last location shows Moreno Valley. We don't know her condition. Please I am begging, if anyone has information, or the heart to share this, please please contact me and repost."

Her relative, Emily Martinez, of Las Vegas, told Fox News Digital that Vasquez's phone last pinged in the Moreno Valley area, which is about 50 miles east of Whittier Park. 

"We're scared for her, but I’m hopeful, very hopeful that we’ll find her," Martinez said. "We just want to know she's OK."

She described Vasquez as the "funniest person ever" who was adored by everyone. 

"We went to Cancun on a trip," Martinez recalled. "It was storming, and she would be that girl who would run into the pool in full makeup and a dress. She was the one who was willing to make you laugh even if it meant embarrassing herself."

Vasquez is interested in cosmetology and had been working with her sister, who is a lash artist, Matinez said.

"She's just a beautiful person overall," Martinez added. She said the family has no idea who could have done this to her.

Vasquez, who is 5-foot-3 and 103 pounds, was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve crop top, khaki pants and black low-top Converse shoes. 

She has her sister's name, Edlyn, tattooed on the back of her neck, an Aries constellation on the top of her right hand and a belly button piercing.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Detective Jose Bolanos at 562-328-8504, Detective Tom Nordbak at 562-244-0054 or the tipline at 562-567-9299.

The Whittier Police Department didn't immediately return a request for comment. 

Aaron Rodgers reveals his Jets quarterback plan for future, including 'few good years here'

While Aaron Rodgers wants to remain focused on his first season with the New York Jets, it appears the 39-year-old four-time MVP is already looking to the future. 

During a recent interview with CBS New York, Rodgers revealed his succession plan at quarterback for the Jets, which doesn’t include a one-and-done 2023 season for him. 

"I’d like to be able to play a few good years here and then hand it right back off to Zach [Wilson], and let him go for the next 15," Rodgers said. "It’d be a really special 18- to 20-year run of great quarterback play."

Rodgers has previously discussed playing two seasons in a Jets uniform, but fans must love hearing him repeat that he doesn’t want to be a flash in the plan in New York. 

And while it’s a bit far-fetched to believe the Jets will see Wilson, their No. 2 overall pick from two years ago, playing 18-plus seasons in a green and white uniform, it does show how much faith Rodgers has in his expected backup.

JETS' AARON RODGERS EXPECTED TO PLAY IN FINAL PRESEASON GAME VS. GIANTS: REPORTS

Wilson hasn’t panned out for the Jets. If he did, the Jets wouldn’t have been aggressive in trying to acquire Rodgers from the Green Bay Packers this offseason. 

The BYU product regressed in his second season in 2022 and was benched multiple times by head coach Robert Saleh, creating a quarterback roller coaster. 

With Rodgers as a mentor, Wilson seems to already be picking up some of his new teammates' nuances while continuing to learn the cerebral part of the game.

"I’m very appreciative of him and how much he is willing to help me because he doesn’t need to be that vocal," Wilson said of Rodgers, per the New York Post. Rodgers has also complimented Wilson in the past. 

Jets fans would love if there was a seamless transition at quarterback when Rodgers ends up calling it quits.

For now, though, the Jets couldn’t be happier with the situation they are in, having Rodgers aboard with other free agent additions that have vaulted the team’s expectations to Super Bowl contender.
