Fundraiser held for family of woman killed in hit-and-run at South L.A. street takeover
A fundraiser was held Sunday for the family of a woman in her 20s who was struck and killed in a hit-and-run collision during a street takeover at an intersection in South Los Angeles.
The crash occurred on Christmas night and claimed the life of Elyzza Guajaca. The driver of the black Camaro that struck her remains at large. The vehicle was doing "donuts" in the street when the driver lost control of the Camaro and hit a group of pedestrians at the intersection of Florence Avenue and Crenshaw Boulevard, according to Los Angeles police.
Investigators later released surveillance video in an effort to identify additional victims and the suspect. A $50,000 reward has been offered in the case. On Sunday, a fundraiser was held to help Guajaca's family pay for her funeral expenses. Community members donated a variety of dishes and baked goods that were sold at the outdoor event.
