CHP Names New Suspect in Fatal Hit-and-Run
The California Highway Patrol on Tuesday named a new suspect in a weekend hit-and-run crash that killed two girls on the Foothill Freeway in Duarte.
The suspect, Arnoldo Moreno, 27, of Los Angeles, allegedly fled to an acquaintance’s home in the area after Saturday’s crash and told people there that he had been in an accident, a CHP spokesman said.
Elena Ferrer, 12, and Shannon White, 10, burned to death in the crash, and Elena’s father, Antonio Ferrer, 50, was critically injured.
Moreno is being sought for investigation of second-degree murder and felony hit and run. He had apparently borrowed the car from Natividad Chavez, whose state identification card was found in the wreckage, authorities said.
