On October 17, 2023, Traffic Detectives from the Malibu / Lost Hills Station responded to a multiple-victim fatal traffic collision, on the 21600 block of Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu. The driver of the vehicle involved in this collision was arrested for gross vehicular manslaughter. Once the driver was identified, he was subsequently released to allow detectives time to gather the evidence needed to secure the strongest criminal filing and conviction. When a case is presented to the District Attorney’s Office, you need to present supporting evidence for the specific charges being requested for filing within 48 hours. In this specific case, the evidence including toxicology, speed analysis, execution of search warrants, etc. was still pending and took additional time to collect.
These types of traffic investigations are very extensive and there are various investigative factors that are involved. Our detectives worked diligently to compile all the evidence needed so they could file the maximum charges allowed under California law. The Malibu / Lost Hills Station detectives are working closely with a district attorney who specializes in prosecution for fatal collisions. The Sheriff’s Department is relentlessly working to ensure we get justice for the victims’ families. Our thoughts are with each family, friends, and students of each victim during this difficult time.
On October 23, 2023, Malibu / Lost Hills Station detectives presented the case to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office for filing consideration.
