Alleged Street Race Driver Charged With Murder in Fatal Los Angeles Crash

— -- One of the alleged drivers involved in a fatal crash stemming from an illegal street race has been charged with murder.

Henry Gevorgyan turned himself in to Los Angeles police late Saturday. Police say he was one of the drivers involved in a fatal crash that was the "result of an illegal street race" in the Chatsworth neighborhood of the city on Thursday.

During the race, police say Gevorgyan, 21, lost control of his Ford Mustang and drove into a crowd of about 60 people, killing two and injuring others.

Police said that the Mustang was modified to race, and that the tire marks indicated that Gevorgyan accelerated too quickly and may have lost control when he was shifting gears.

"Street racing, all too often, is publicized as glamorous entertainment," Los Angeles Police Captain John McMahon said Thursday. "Here's a case where street racing is criminal, dangerous, and unfortunately this morning, we see it's deadly."

Gevorgyan did not have an attorney, according to jail records. Bail was set at $2 million.

A second suspect in the crash is still at large, police said. One of the onlookers who was injured remains in critical condition.
