But those charges will be upgraded, as investigators confirm the victim, 27-year-old Anissia Martinez, died from her injuries Wednesday.
Police found Martinez in the roadway at Balch and Winery Avenues last Saturday, suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

Mendoza-Hernandez was taken into custody after trying to run from the scene.
During a search of the area, officers recovered a handgun they believe was used in the shooting.
