Venice Boardwalk Crash: Man, 35, Arrested on Suspicion of Murder
The 35-year-old man arrested in connection with Saturday’s deadly hit-and-run incident on the Venice boardwalk was booked on suspicion of murder, police said.
At a press conference Sunday morning on the boardwalk, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesman said the suspect, Nathan Campbell, was being held on $1-million bail.
Officials did not provide more details or a possible motive for the incident.
The deceased victim was identified Sunday morning as Alice Gruppioni, 32, of Italy, Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office officials told nbclosangeles.com.
Late Saturday, authorities said a person of interest was being questioned in connection with the incident after turning himself in at a Santa Monica police station. Los Angeles Police Department Lt. Andy Neiman said the man told police he was “connected” to the incident.
The car involved in the crash was found abandoned.
Several videos have emerged showing the crash, which left one person dead and at least 11 others hurt, including one in critical condition.
One of the videos showed a dark black sedan plowing into people on the boardwalk. Another video captured the chaotic scene after the crash.
