MILPITAS, Calif. – A 32-year-old woman is facing a murder charge after allegedly using her vehicle to intentionally run over and kill a close friend in the parking lot of a Milpitas <\/a>apartment complex.<\/p>\n The fatal incident occurred at approximately noon Friday at the Mill Creek Apartment Complex<\/a> located on Dixon Landing Road, where both the suspect and the victim lived.<\/p>\n According to witnesses, 35-year-old Anjana Hari walked toward a Toyota Highlander driven by 32-year-old Anila Baby. Hari appeared to be smiling and friendly toward the driver, leading one resident to believe the driver was a friend or an Uber driver based on their interaction.<\/p>\n Court records state that police say Baby suddenly accelerated and ran over Hari without making any attempt to brake. Hari died at the scene.<\/p>\n Milpitas police suspect it was intentional <\/p>\n What we know:<\/p>\n While the case was initially reported as a hit-and-run, Milpitas police said a closer look revealed the act was intentional.<\/p>\n “This is a very unsettling incident for the city of Milpitas,” said Milpitas Police Department Capt. Jason Speckenheuer. “It was initially reported as a hit-and-run, but after further investigation and elements, it appeared that it was intentional act on her part.”<\/p>\n After hitting Hari, police say Baby continued driving, striking several parked cars before leaving the complex and continuing to drive recklessly.<\/p>\n Officers later located Baby behind the wheel in a nearby parking lot. Authorities said she appeared to be incoherent, was unable to answer questions, and had visible injuries on her arms and legs.<\/p>\n Residents living in the apartment complex expressed shock over the incident, with witnesses describing damaged vehicles and a woman bleeding on the ground in the aftermath.<\/p>\n What we don’t know:<\/p>\n Despite the charges filed by Santa Clara County prosecutors, investigators have not established a reason behind the fatal encounter.<\/p>\n “We don’t know the motive at this time,” Speckenheuer said.<\/p>\n What’s next:<\/p>\n Baby is currently being held without bail at the Santa Clara County Jail.\u00a0<\/p>\n She is scheduled to return to court on Sept. 10.<\/p>\n The Source: This story is an original report by KTVU reporter Henry Lee.
