Kudos to the people that didnt let the driver/runner get away. Atleast the families of the victims wont have to beg someone on tv to come forward so they can attempt to get justice and closure. Everyone wants respect and to be treated fairly and like an adult but when they screw up they dont wanna BE the adult and take responsibility for their actions.

I'm glad you caught the suspect. It's so sad that two young lives were snuffed out for somebody else's negligence, and they get to walk away. My condolence to family and friends of the victims. I hope justice is served.

AND it's hit-and-run? No excuses from the judge, it's jail time for life for them. Better yet, give them what they deserve. Capital punishment.

Can we get a mugshot of the demon who caused this?

People drive so aggressively, ride your butt, act like fools on the road.

Condolences to the families of these young people who just wanted to go grab a bite to eat like so many of us do each day. I’m glad the driver is now in custody.

What about the identity of the coward in the Jeep, huh? 🧐

[brendadesilva]

So sad. May they rest in peace. My condolences to their family.

I worked for the LAPD Photo Unit for a long time.
And at the scene of an unnecessary fatality that happened in Westwood, a firefighter told me this:
"There is no safety device, instructions or traffic controls, the STUPID can't completely defy".
That's the problem.
It's not what's around on the streets and safety controls, or the cars themselves.
It's stupid, reckless and inconsiderate drivers that endanger us all.
You'd think, since cars are the second most important property, other than a house, people wouldn't drive them like they only cost $1.98.
And lives, clearly...are worth even less to such drivers. Even their own.

People nowadays are above ALL authority; including red lights...

[yamama]

Prayers to the people that got hurt or killed but there's way way too many people nowadays that just don't care what they do

[ChristinaB]

That is so sad. Sending prayers to the family for comfort. 🕊️

Since the p.o.s. ran, it'll be 'no-bail' from the court.
Uplifting about the witnesses tracking the murderer down for LAPD...some people still care.
Well, the p.o.s. should have 25+ years to play with his F&F toy cars in a cell.
My deepest sympathies for the families.

What the hell the Jeep looks like it didn’t even take a lot of damage !
