Overview
- Owens, 24, turned herself in on Jan. 7 and was booked on a gross-negligence vehicular manslaughter charge tied to the October 2025 crash, then pleaded not guilty.
- The Jan. 4 collision at Atlantic Avenue and Sixth Street killed Gilberto Lopez, 21, and Bobbi Smith, 24, and injured three others, according to police.
- Investigators allege she ran a red light in a 2021 BMW, struck two vehicles, fled before officers arrived, and that speed may have been a factor.
- The October 6 incident near Fourth Street and Bonito Avenue fatally injured bicyclist Raul Augustin Gallopa, who died at a hospital on Oct. 20.
- Police say forensic evidence plus video tied the same suspect to both crashes, with the January case set for referral to the Los Angeles County district attorney in the coming days.
