Carlo Adrian Navarro was driving drunk underage on Halloween night 2019 when he ran down Joseph Awaida, Raihan Dakhil Awaida and their 3-year-old son, Omar, in Long Beach.
Navarro was driving a 2002 Toyota Sequoia southbound on Country Club Drive and failed to make a turn, according to Long Beach police. Instead, he drove onto the sidewalk and hit the family as they were walking home after a night of trick-or-treating, authorities said.
Navarro was arrested at the scene but was later released on $100,000 bail. He was re-arrested the following week in connection with an unrelated burglary case. Outside court after the verdict, Joseph Awaida's mother and Omar's grandmother, Vera, said she was "very satisfied" with the verdict and called it the "best possible outcome that could have happened."All the news you need to know, every day
