LONG BEACH, Calif. - A woman is dead and several others injured after a driver allegedly intentionally drove his vehicle into pedestrians in a Long Beach crosswalk Saturday night.
It happened around 6:34 p.m. in the intersection of Shoreline Drive and Aquarium Way.
According to authorities, 46-year-old Khalid Yagobbi has been arrested on suspicion of murder in the death of 60-year-old Romelia Cuarenta Aguilar, who died at the scene.
Police say Yagobbi was speeding eastbound in a white Chevrolet Bolt, in the westbound lanes of Shoreline Drive, when he drove through a red light and struck the pedestrians and multiple, occupied vehicles without slowing down.
Witnesses said the car struck Aguilar as she pushed a child in a stroller in the crosswalk and then slammed into multiple vehicles in the opposite lane.
Yagobbi, who remained at the scene, was taken to a hospital for treatment then jailed on suspicion of murder.
His bail was set at $2 million.
Additional victims were taken to the hospital, with one person in critical condition, authorities said.
"At this time, there is no indication that this incident was an act of terror nor associated with the current violence in Israel; however, the investigation is ongoing," the LBPD said.

Khalid the muslim. Certainly willing to be proved wrong here but who bets I am right?
Aloha Snackbar involved
At least he was driving a carbon-free EV.
But no hate crime? Are they saying he’s mentally ill? Contrast this with the murder in Plainfield, where the perp is being charged with a hate crime.
Every day, more and more Khalids stroll across our open border.

Oh, give me a break!
An observant Muslim, obeying the call to jihad.
I'd say there is only about a 99.9% chance you are right.
Aloha snackbar!
These idiots are so quick to rule out terrorism.
“...46-year-old Khalid Yagobbi has been arrested on suspicion of murder in the death of 60-year-old Romelia Cuarenta Aguilar...”
Well, THERE’s some Intersectionality to sort out....
He was driving an EV; was the impact severe enough to total the EV?
Usually, if the first thing they do, is deny it was a terrorist attack, then a terrorist attack, is probably the first thing we should suspect.
I’m shocked that he will be required to post bail.
Authorities remain baffled...
Terrorist attack that should be labeled and reported as such. Maybe a crazy ‘lone wolf’ attack but an Islamic Humas inspired terrorist attack just the same.
Phucking Muzzie. Hang him.
Suspension of murder. WTF?
