Wynne Lee, 26, pleads guilty to one felony count of accessory after the fact and one misdemeanor count of having a concealed firearm in a vehicle. But she won’t serve any more time.
The Costa Mesa woman driving the car involved in the road-rage shooting that killed 6-year-old Aidan Leos pleaded guilty Friday morning to being an accessory to the boy’s killing. She won’t spend any time in prison, however. Wynne Lee, 26, was driving on an Orange County freeway on the morning of May 26, 2021, when her then-boyfriend, Marcus Eriz, fired a single shot into a car driven by Aidan's mother, Joanna Cloonan, who was taking the boy to kindergarten.
Cloonan was driving her Chevrolet in the same direction with her son strapped into a booster seat behind her. Cloonan said that Lee cut her off and then flashed a peace sign at her, which she interpreted as a sarcastic gesture. That’s when Cloonan followed Lee for a short distance, changed lanes to pass her and flashed her the middle finger. As the Chevy pulled away, Cloonan heard a sound that made her think she'd hit a rock until her son cried out in pain.
