Henry Gevorgyan, 21, was racing his gray Ford Mustang around
2:05 a.m. local time in Chatsworth when the incident occurred,
the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement.
Two pedestrians, 26-year-old Eric Siguenza and another
unidentified person, were killed in the accident, police said. A
third was taken to a local hospital, where he was in stable
condition.
Police said they were searching for Gevorgyan, who did not stop
to help any of the injured people before fleeing the scene.
The Los Angeles Times reported that authorities would seek
murder charges against the man. The paper said more than 60
people were gathered to watch the early morning street race but
they had all dispersed by the time police arrived.
Police were unable to provide additional information when
reached.
