Prosecutors: California Driver a Suspect in Two Crashes that Caused Multiple Deaths Three Months Apart

A 24-year-old Southern California woman has been named a suspect in a hit-and-run accident last Sunday that caused two deaths after also being booked on charges for allegedly causing the death of a bicyclist with her car last October.

According to Los Angeles news outlets reporting on the case, Ahkeyajahnique Owens was charged this week with vehicular manslaughter for allegedly striking a bicyclist in downtown Long Beach in October, with prosecutors also alleging that she smashed into a 2022 Nissan Altima in the same area around 10:00 p.m. January 4, causing the deaths of two people ejected from that car.

In the most recent collision, Owens’s 2021 BMW 330i also then struck a black 2017 Kia Soul, injuring three others, police investigators said according to a report from the Los Angeles Times.
