A Long Beach woman turned herself in this week after detectives linked her to two separate traffic crashes that left three people dead and others injured, police said.

According to the Long Beach Police Department, Collision Investigation Detail detectives identified one suspect and one vehicle involved in two fatal collisions using forensic evidence and video footage.

The first crash happened on Oct. 6, 2025, at the intersection of East 4th Street and Bonito Avenue. Police said a bicyclist, later identified as Raul Augustin Gallopa, 35, of Long Beach, was riding east in a shared bicycle lane when he attempted to turn north onto Bonito Avenue and was struck by a 2021 BMW 330i traveling eastbound on 4th Street at a high rate of speed.

Officers arrived to find Gallopa unconscious in the roadway. He was transported to a hospital in critical condition and later died from his injuries on Oct. 20, according to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.

Police identified the driver as Ahkeyajahnique Owens, 24, of Long Beach. Officers said she remained at the scene and was arrested for reckless driving.

The second collision occurred on Jan. 4, 2026, at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and East 6th Street. Police said two motorists, Gilberto Lopez, 21, of Midway City, and Bobbi Smith, 24, of Buena Park, were killed, and three other people were injured.

Detectives later identified Owens as the suspect in both collisions. On Jan. 7, she turned herself in at the Long Beach Police Department Public Safety Building and was booked at the Long Beach City Jail on a warrant for felony vehicular manslaughter related to the October 2025 crash, with bail set at $200,000.

Police said the case connected to the Oct. 6 crash has been presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. A separate case related to the Jan. 4 crash will be presented to the district attorney next week.
