Shut down while driving, electronics stayed on.

Thank you for your responses so far! Update: they haven't finished diagnostics but said it could be something with the key - said it wouldn't recognize it and they got a immobilizer code as well as a fuel system code. It also wouldn't shut off (engine or electronics) one of the times the mechanic turned it on. He sounded pretty puzzled.

Hey fellas!

I was taking off from a stop sign a couple days ago when my car died. It wouldn't take any throttle and jumped/jolted until the engine shut off. Wouldn't detect the key afterwards. I called a "mobile mechanic" and three crackheads showed up, one of them jiggled and unplugged the fuel module under the back seat and it started again. I drove it for about a mile, pulled into an auto zone and it shuddered and the engine shut down again (same thing with the key) I've had a few misfires on a warm engine over the past couple months on hard acceleration, I figured I just needed new spark plugs and have been getting around to replacing them (money is tight right now).

The purge valve was replaced about 2 years ago. It's a 2018 just under 130k miles.

I'm still waiting to hear from my mechanic but I'm itching to know if this or something like it has happened to any of you/any guesses on what could be going on with it?
