The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is offering up to $50,000 for information leading to an arrest after a deadly Christmas evening hit-and-run during an illegal street takeover.
A driver doing donuts in a circling contest against other drivers during the street takeover in the area of Los Angeles’ Hyde Park neighborhood lost control and went into a crowd of watching pedestrians, killing Elyzza Guajaca and striking other individuals, Detective Ryan Moreno said at a Wednesday press conference covered by Fox 11 Los Angeles. Two other vehicles also participated in the contest, Moreno reported, and an up to $50,000 is available to community members for information leading to the arrest of the first driver, who fled the scene, according to a press release.
Members of Guajaca’s family said she was 24 years old, Fox 11 reported. Others said she attended nursing school and worked at the Los Angeles International Airport, and she reportedly enjoyed car demonstration events.
A brawl occurred in a video filmed during the takeover and tweeted Wednesday by the LAPD, with one individual apparently being kicked on the ground.

“Traditionally when someone crashes in one of these events, if you’re a car and you’re actively swinging and doing donuts, they basically beat them up,” Moreno said at the press conference. However, he indicated that the person being beaten on video might have been attacking the driver who crashed, and faced retaliation.
“There are people in this culture, in some of these car clubs, that have basically taken on a gang persona and basically have a gang mentality,” Moreno explained. “Some of these guys that are in these car clubs are basically what you could say is untouchable. So they can crash, do whatever, but you don’t do that to them.”
The LAPD did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

EDITOR’S NOTE: The “Climate Change Cult.” The “Anti-Racism Cult.” The “Cult of Wokeness.” The “LGBTQ Cult” and its predatory offspring targeting America’s children, the “Transgender Cult.” The “Cult of Abortion.” The “COVID Cult.” The “Cult of Globalism.” “TikTok Cults.” Every month the list grows.
To right-thinking Americans attempting to make sense of a nation seemingly gone mad, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the irrational, deranged – and often demonic – leftwing political and cultural movements currently capturing the minds of millions of Americans are nothing short of full-fledged cults.
Although the high priesthood of all these leftwing religious cults – i.e., university professors, academics and other Marxist ideologues and activists – may be true believers, the people actually wielding REAL POWER do not believe any of it. To them, these leftwing cults conveniently serve to disguise and distract “the rabble” from what the leader class is REALLY up to, which is the pursuit of ever more power, wealth and glory for themselves, and a total transformation of America and the world.
All of this and much more is explored in a powerful, insightful and absolutely unique way in the latest issue of WND’s acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “HOLY WAR: Defeating the growing cult of leftism and its total war on Christianity.”
