She was pronounced deceased at the scene, police say.

Angelo recently worked as an extra for a new TV show filmed in the area and made the cut, according to a GoFundMe. She also just started serving on her church praise team and began a new job.

"Rachael was a brave young girl. She was very smart and loved to learn. She loved the Lord and serving him. She was able to serve in missions trips and was humbled by the work she was able to do," the GoFundMe states. "She was full of dreams and was courageous in pursuing each of them."
