A man suspected of killing three people near a bus stop Thursday when he crashed a tow truck onto a crowded Vernon sidewalk has been charged with murder, auto theft and parole violation, police said.
Raymond David Bermudez, 29, was booked Saturday after being released from a hospital.
Bermudez had been paroled from state prison hours before he allegedly stole a tow truck and crashed it into the bus stop at Vernon and Santa Fe avenues. Rosa Carrera, 34, Juana Rios, 43, and Daniel Donrantes, 35, were killed.
Donations to the victims’ families can be made to the Vernon Police Officers Assn., 4305 Santa Fe Ave., Vernon, CA 90058.
