Authorities in Southern California have apprehended a 24-year-old individual in connection with two fatal accidents that occurred within a few months of each other.
Ahkeyajahnique Owens, 24, was initially out on bail for allegedly striking and killing a cyclist on October 6 in Long Beach. However, she now faces charges for another tragic incident in January, where she allegedly caused a hit-and-run that resulted in the deaths of two individuals in another vehicle, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
The incident on January 4 claimed the lives of Gilberto Lopez, 21, and Bobbi Smith, 24, while also injuring three additional people.

Owens surrendered to the Long Beach police on Wednesday and has been detained with her bail set at $200,000.
Owens turned herself into Long Beach police Wednesday, and she was booked on $200,000 bail.
The department didn’t say how much her bail was after the first crash.
