Long Beach police said they have arrested a 24-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in two hit-and-runs that were five months apart and resulted in the deaths of three people.<\/p>\n
Ahkeyajahnique Owens, a 24-year-old Long Beach resident, turned herself in on Jan. 7 at the Long Beach Police Department.<\/p>\n
Police say they identified Owens as a suspect in both collisions using forensic evidence and video footage.<\/p>\n
The first collision left a 35-year-old bicyclist dead. On October 6, 2025, Raul Augustin Gallopa of Long Beach was killed at the intersection of East 4th Street and Bonito Avenue.<\/p>\n
The second collision with another vehicle left two people dead and three others injured. Gilberto Lopez, a 21-year-old resident of Midway City, and Bobbi Smith, a 24-year-old resident of Buena Park, were killed after a vehicle collision at the intersection of Atlantic Avenue and East 6th Street.<\/p>\n
Police said Owens was booked for felony vehicular manslaughter related to the October 2025 traffic collision, while a separate case related to the January 4, 2026, collision will be presented to the District Attorney’s Office next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long Beach police said they have arrested a 24-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in two hit-and-runs that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":126826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-126825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=126825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/126825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/126826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=126825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=126825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=126825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
