The pedestrian who was killed by an allegedly drunk hit-and-run driver on Lake Boulevard last week has been identified by the Shasta County Coroners Office as 40-year-old Brandi Rae Ohlde. Just before 2 O’clock on Thanksgiving Day, Ohlde had been pushing a shopping cart along the shoulder of Lake Boulevard near Clay Street when she was hit by a westbound car. Officers talked to witnesses and determined the driver was 44-year-old Jessica Kathryn Remedios. She was contacted at her home and arrested for vehicular manslaughter, DUI causing death and felony hit-and-run.
