A man from Los Angeles is facing murder charges after he drove his car intentionally into a crowd of pedestrians at a Long Beach intersection on Saturday evening, leaving one dead.
Upon arrival at the scene, Long Beach police officers found 60-year-old Romelia Cuarenta Aguilar lying in the roadway, having been struck by a vehicle. Despite immediate medical aid rendered by the officers and subsequent assistance from the Long Beach Fire Department, Aguilar was pronounced dead at the scene. Additional victims were transported to local hospitals and are reported to be in stable condition.
The suspect, identified as 46-year-old Khalid Yagobbi of Los Angeles, was driving a Chevrolet Bolt at a high rate of speed in the wrong direction. He ran a red light and collided with multiple vehicles and pedestrians without slowing down. Yagobbi was arrested at the scene and is currently being held on a $2,000,000 bail, facing murder charges.
The Long Beach Police Department, led by Chief Wally Hebeish, immediately launched an investigation into the incident. Preliminary evidence suggested that the collision was possibly intentional, prompting Homicide and Collision Investigations detectives to take over the case. The FBI also responded to the scene.
“Due to the suspicious circumstances of the incident and current international events, the Federal Bureau of Investigation responded to the scene. At this time, there is no indication that this incident was an act of terror nor associated with the current violence in Israel; however, the investigation is ongoing,” the Long Beach Police Department said in a statement.
Political activist Laura Loomer claimed on X that Khalid Yagobbi is a “Muslim terrorist who intentionally carried out an Islamic terrorist attack,” along with an alleged photo of Yagobbi. The Gateway Pundit can’t immediately verify the photos below.

According to some X users, the race of Yagobbi is unknown, and there is no mugshot.
