Angel was robbed near a Wells Fargo bank Monday, FOX San Francisco reported. She was in her car when someone broke in and stole her purse. She chased after the thief to retrieve the bag, but the suspects drove away, the report said.

Angel was reportedly dragged 50 feet from the vehicle and taken to a hospital with head injuries.

In the statement, friends and family said Angel opposed “government violence, jail time or imprisonment.”

Her organs will be donated and the bakery will remain open with support from Angel’s estate, the statement said. A medical team informed Angel’s family that the donated organs will save the lives of up to 70 people.
