Police Say Suspect Fled on Foot After a Crash That Killed 25-Year-Old

Nearly two months after a deadly hit-and-run in South Los Angeles, police are searching for 24-year-old Sierra Whittaker , who investigators say was behind the wheel of a white Porsche Panamera traveling close to 100 mph when it slammed into another vehicle, killing 25-year-old Emerson Gonzalez-Escobar , according to an LAPD press conference.

The violent crash happened just after 9 p.m. on July 5, at the intersection of 91st Street and South Figueroa Street . Detectives say Gonzalez-Escobar was waiting to make a left turn, yielding to let an ambulance pass, when Whittaker’s speeding Porsche struck his car. He died at the scene despite lifesaving efforts by Los Angeles Fire Department personnel.
