Neomi Velado, 22, turned herself in. “Our investigation continues, and additional charges may be added.” the department said in a statement.
Benjamin Montalvo, 21, who was from Corona, died just after midnight on Friday. He was struck by a dark-colored passenger vehicle as he and two friends were cycling south on Rimpau Avenue. They were cycling along the curb.
