Arrest Made in September South Los Angeles Hit-and-Run That Killed a Teen and Injured His Sister
LAPD says a 28-year-old woman was arrested Oct. 28 in the San Fernando Valley in connection with a Sept. 22 crash at 60th Street and 10th Avenue that killed a 16-year-old boy and seriously injured his 14-year-old sister.
Los Angeles police have arrested a woman they say was the driver in a deadly hit-and-run crash in South Los Angeles last month. The crash killed a 16-year-old boy and seriously injured his 14-year-old sister.
The crash
According to police, the crash happened Sept. 22, 2026, at 60th Street and 10th Avenue. Investigators say the driver of a blue Nissan Sentra was speeding when she struck the two pedestrians. At a news conference the week before the arrest, LAPD said the car was traveling more than 80 mph and ran the intersection's stop sign. The 16-year-old boy suffered fatal injuries. His sister, 14, was severely injured and hospitalized.
Police say the driver and a passenger took some items from the car and ran away on foot. An unidentified driver in a red Honda Accord then picked them up.
The arrest
LAPD says the 28-year-old suspect was located and arrested at about 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 28, in the San Fernando Valley by detectives from the department's Metropolitan Division and South Traffic Division. At a Thursday news conference, a detective said investigators had pursued her around the clock until she was found. Detectives also said she is wanted in connection with a series of robberies across Los Angeles County and has nine prior citations for reckless driving and running stop signs.
Charges
CBS Los Angeles reports that she faces felony murder and reckless driving charges, among other counts, and is being held on $3.2 million bail. Charges are allegations, and she is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The victims' mother thanked the public for tips that helped police, and the boy's brother said the family is heartbroken.
