Surveillance video captured the moment a speeding hit-and-run driver smashed into another car, leaving a woman dead in South Los Angeles.

Footage of the Jan. 6, 2024, crash was released by Los Angeles police on Wednesday night as the search for the suspect continues.

At around 9:20 p.m., the victim, a 53-year-old woman, was waiting at an intersection near Broadway and 60th Streets when, after pulling onto the main road, a speeding BMW smashed into her.

The forceful impact sent her Toyota Corolla spinning out of control as large pieces of auto debris were flung across the roadway.

The suspect, in a white BMW sedan, continued speeding away and eventually crashed into four parked vehicles nearby. He abandoned the BMW and fled from the crash scene without stopping to help the injured woman, police said.

Paramedics responded to the scene and transported the victim to the hospital where she was later pronounced dead.

The hit-and-run driver remains at large. He is described as a Black male around 24 to 25 years old. He stands around 5 feet 7 inches tall and has brown eyes and black hair. 

His vehicle is a white, four-door BMW 528i with California license plate number 6ROJ328. 

A reward of up to $50,000 is available to anyone who provides information leading to the suspect’s apprehension and conviction.

The Santa Monica College employee who was shot by a coworker on campus has died from her injuries Wednesday night.

She was identified as Felicia Hudson, 54, according to the Santa Monica Police Department.

Hudson was a long-time employee of the school and worked as a custodial operations manager. She was originally from Newman, Georgia.

On Oct. 14, Hudson was working at the college’s Center for Media and Design satellite campus when at around 9:15 p.m., she was shot by another employee.

The gunman, Davon Durell Dean, 29, fled the campus after the shooting, leaving Hudson in critical condition. She was rushed to the hospital with severe injuries and later died on Wednesday night.

“We are deeply saddened and shocked by the tragic loss of our colleague Felicia Hudson, who served the college for nearly three decades with dedication and heart,” said Santa Monica College President Dr. Kathryn E. Jeffery. “She took great pride in being a steadfast coworker and leader.” 

On Tuesday afternoon, the suspect’s vehicle was spotted by police in El Segundo. Following a short pursuit, he was eventually boxed in and surrounded by SWAT vehicles.

Despite attempts by negotiators for a peaceful surrender, he eventually shot and killed himself inside his car, police said. 

The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, but investigators believe Hudson was targeted in a case of workplace violence. The circumstances surrounding her connection to Dean remain under investigation.

Police said Dean “had a history of arrests including for attempt murder in 2011 and an assault with a deadly weapon, a firearm, in 2019. His only convictions were for misdemeanor property crimes.”

All Santa Monica College campuses were closed on Tuesday as police investigated the incident.

With over 25,000 students enrolled at the college’s six satellite campuses, police have deployed extra patrols on campus while urging students and staff to stay at home.

Campus staff and administrators are mourning Hudson’s death while the incident remains under investigation. 

“To Felicia’s family, loved ones and friends, SMC extends our heartfelt condolences and prayer,” Jeffery said. “The college will be conducting a thorough review of this incident. SMC is providing crisis counseling services to employees and students as we grieve our irreplaceable colleague.”

The Santa Monica College Foundation has established a legacy fund in her honor, in collaboration with Hudson’s family which can be found here.

A Santa Ana man was arrested for an alleged weekslong spree of exposing himself to students near Utt Middle School in Tustin.

Three students reported that a man had exposed himself to them in September, and on Tuesday, the Tustin Police Department “conducted surveillance to apprehend the suspect and prevent any further incidents,” according to a news release.

During that surveillance, the man’s car was spotted, and “the suspect was spotted pulling up to a student and seen exposing his genitals,” police said.

Officers pulled that man over, and several victims identified that man, 36-year-old Christopher Scott Shelton, as the person who exposed himself to them, police said.

He was booked into the Orange County Jail on charges of indecent exposure and child annoyance, police said, though he did not appear in a search of jail records.

Police are looking for additional victims.

Anyone with information is asked to call Officer Hense at 714-573-3200.
