Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said today that detectives have confirmed the death of Desiree Bragg, 19. The young woman died late Wednesday afternoon at Renown Medical Center in Reno. An autopsy is being performed today at the Washoe County Medical Examiner’s Office. The full results of the autopsy report are not expected for approximately 4 weeks.

UPDATE 7:30PM: Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong clarified Tuesday night that Desiree Bragg has not died as he was informed earlier today and shared with Carson Now. After speaking with family members late this afternoon Furlong said he learned that the woman's condition was 'unrecoverable' and family members are looking for organ donor arrangements.
Furlong said he apologizes for the miscommunication, saying he was erroneously informed that Bragg had died today. When Carson Now called to confirm the woman's passing after several Facebook posts suggesting Bragg had already been taken off life support, Furlong said he was informed earlier that she had indeed passed and regrets the error made in making the confirmation.

Here is a news release from the Carson City Sheriff's Office:

UPDATE JAN.29: Desiree Bragg, the woman who was chased and struck by a vehicle in a road rage incident on Saturday night in Carson City, has died.
Bragg was taken off life support Tuesday, Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong confirmed. Friends on Facebook began posting messages on Carson Now. Furlong confirmed and said he and Carson City District Attorney Neil Rombardo were meeting and would make more information available later today.
Furlong said he believed Bragg was 19 years old but wasn't able to confirm her age at the time he spoke with Carson Now. He said he was alerted to her death while he was in a meeting.
The 27-year-old suspect, Leonardo Cardoza, will likely face murder charges.

The following report is from Sheriff Furlong:

UPDATE 11:55PM: Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said road rage is thought to be behind an incident Saturday night on Cinnabar near College Parkway that sent at least two to the hospital via CareFlight.
Two of those injured, include a woman who was hit by a vehicle in her driveway after being followed by a male driver. The woman, believed to be 19-years-old but not confirmed yet, was said to have "very severe" injuries. The other driver, a man, was said to have "severe" injuries. Both were flown to Renown Medical Center in Reno. Their conditions are unknown at this time.

Apparently the incident began before 9:30 p.m. off of Lompa and Highway 50 and involved a male driver following a female driver after some kind of altercation. Furlong said. It is unknown if the two knew each other, Furlong said, and investigators are trying to determine what relationship the two had, if any.
"Right now we are looking at it as being some sort of road rage incident," said Furlong.
The male driver apparently followed the female driver from Lompa and Highway 50, crossed the freeway and then followed her to her home where he struck her in the driveway, said Furlong. The man was injured after leaving the scene and crashing his vehicle.
"We really don't know why this happened," said Furlong.
