Deputies were called Tuesday afternoon near Westlake High School in Thousand Oaks and found a sedan had driven off the side of a road and flipped over, FOX Los Angeles reported. Investigators said Eis drove the car into four high school students. One student, identified by relatives as 15-year-old Wesley Welling, died at the scene.
The other three victims, a 15-year-old boy and two girls, ages 14 and 16, were taken to a hospital. The sheriff's office said two of the victims have since been released. The other remains in critical condition.
Eis was wanted before the crash in connection with the stabbing of a Walmart employee in Simi Valley. The employee was being treated at a hospital.
"Violence like this can’t be tolerated, and we’re disgusted by what happened at our Simi Valley store," a Walmart statement to Fox News Digital said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with our associate for a healthy recovery, and we’ll work closely with local law enforcement throughout their investigation."
