A Long Beach man has been charged with three counts of murder in connection with a Halloween night crash that killed a mother, father and their 3-year-old son, according to the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
Carlo Navarro, 20, was also charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. The charges include an allegation of causing death to multiple victims. Police say Navarro swerved onto the sidewalk along Country Club Drive near Los Cerritos Park shortly before 10 p.m. Oct. 31 and struck Joseph Awaida, 30; his wife, Raihan Awaida, 32; and their 3-year-old son, Omar.Navarro was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and gross vehicular manslaughter following the crash. He was released from jail after posting a $100,000 bond and rebooked on Nov. 7 on a no-bail hold for two counts of manslaughter.
Navarro was arrested that day but was released July 1, jail records show. The Long Beach city prosecutor’s office sought an enhanced bail of $500,000 after the Halloween crash.
