An 18-year-old suspect was arrested and booked Friday morning after investigators said he ran over comedian Perry Kurtz and left him to die on a street in Tarzana.
An 18-year-old suspect was arrested and booked Friday morning after investigators allege he struck and killed comedian Perry Kurtz in Los Angeles' Tarzana neighborhood. He was 73-years-old. The suspect was identified as Nathon Jaimes, a Reseda resident. Officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said around 11:30 p.m., a 73-year-old man was crossing the street at Ventura Boulevard and Melvin Avenue, when a car driven by the teen hit him.
When first responders arrived, the victim was declared dead at the scene. Kurtz was identified as the victim by the LA County Medical Examiner Friday morning. About an hour after the crash, an alert witness contacted authorities after they observed something out of the ordinary in an area on Ventura Blvd. and Vanalden Ave., about a half mile from the crime scene. They said the suspect’s vehicle was oddly parked with a broken windshield.
