An illegal street race turned deadly February 25th when a Mustang GT was street racing against a Nissan GTR when the driver lost control and hit a curb and went into a crowd of spectators.
Three spectators in total were struck by the car and two ended up being pronounced dead.
Both vehicles fled the scene after the incident however after being publicly named as being sought by police - Henry Michael Gevorgyan, the owner of the mustang, turned himself into police custody Saturday night.

Stories are currently conflicting as to whether Gevorgyan was the driver when the incident occurred. He is currently being held in jail with bail set at two million dollars and has been charged with murder.
Los Angeles has a very active underground street racing scene and this incident is sure to put it into the spotlight and could be a lead into more legislature/action against street racing.
