Overview
- Authorities say a 19-year-old allegedly drove his car into a group of people on the 3500 block of Franklin Avenue on May 24, killing 20-year-old Daisy Sandoval and striking four others.
- Two of the injured were taken to hospitals in critical condition and two sustained serious injuries, police reported.
- Officers detained the suspect at the scene and booked him into the Robert Presley Detention Center on a murder charge, where he is being held on $1 million bail.
- The Riverside County district attorney has filed first-degree murder and multiple assault charges against the suspect and is pursuing sentence-enhancing allegations for injuries that left victims comatose; prosecutors have also identified the deceased as the suspect’s sister.
- Robbery–Homicide and Forensics units are still investigating, interviewing witnesses and examining evidence after police say the incident followed a shut-down "flyer party," an informal street gathering that officers sometimes break up for safety reasons.
