Jose Palacios-Gonzalez was pronounced dead at the scene, while Samantha was rushed to a hospital but later succumbed to her injuries. Long Beach Police Department detectives identified the driver, who fled the scene on foot, as Montano Islas.
“Jose and Samantha’s loved ones have lived with the pain of this unimaginable loss for more than four years now, and still have not gotten justice,” Hahn said in a news release. “We are asking anyone who may have any information on where Octavio is or where he may have gone to please share it with detectives. We need your help.”
