A Los Angeles man who police say intentionally drove his car into
multiple people and other vehicles in Downtown Long Beach Saturday night has been arrested on suspicion of murder, according to authorities.
Khalid Yagobbi, 46, was taken into custody in connection with the crash that left 60-year-old Long Beach resident Romelia Aguilar dead, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
The crash happened around 6:30 p.m. in the area of Shoreline Drive and Aquarium Way, authorities said. Witnesses described a car running a red light and then crashing into a woman pushing a child in a stroller, and then into vehicles in the opposite lane.
Yagobbi, according to police, was driving a Chevrolet Bolt eastbound in the westbound lanes of Shoreline Drive near Aquarium Way at a high rate of speed when he drove through a red light and struck multiple vehicles and pedestrians in the crosswalk.
When officers arrived at the scene, they rendered aid to Aguilar until Long Beach Fire personnel took over and pronounced her dead, according to the LBPD.
At least five other people were transported to a local hospital in stable condition and one other was treated at the scene, according to authorities.
Police said the FBI also responded to the crash and assisted with the investigation because of suspicious circumstances and the current conflict in the Middle East, but the LBPD said there is no indication that the crash was “an act of terror nor associated with the current violence in Israel.”
The FBI also responded to investigate the crash, according to the LBPD, but they said the crash does not appear to be "an act of terror."
