On March 16, 2015, around 8:00 a.m., an 87-year-old woman was
crossing the street eastbound on Adams Boulevard within a marked
crosswalk. The suspect, seen driving a silver colored late model
Infinity SUV, (possibly QX or FX), drove eastbound on Adams
Boulevard then turned northbound onto Figueroa Street. The suspect
collided with the pedestrian and continued northbound on Figueroa
Street. After driving approximately one block north, the suspect
made a U-turn and drove past the victim in the southbound lanes. He
continued to drive around the University of Southern California

through a red light.
