Edith Cardoza, their mother, “is recovering but mentally is destroyed,” a GoFundMe for the family says.
Noe Saucedo, 23, remains in jail in Martinez, and his bail was set at $1.1 million, the ABC affiliate report said.
The Contra Costa County District Attorney’s office formally charged him with murder, felony evading, possessing a stolen vehicle, and possessing methamphetamine and heroin.

A white Ford 250 that he was driving exited on Highway 4 on Wednesday while speeding. A deputy was following him, and he drove through a red light, hitting Cardoza’s vehicle.
“Clearly the suspect Saucedo took a series of actions that led to this tragedy,” the sheriff’s department said.
Lenexy died in the crash.
