An additional $1,000 reward will be presented by Crime Stoppers for the apprehension of the second suspect(s) responsible for the murders of the three victims.

At a press conference held Wednesday in Los Angeles, LASD Homicide and California Highway Patrol officials disclosed a description of the second suspect’s vehicle, which was one of two vehicles that allegedly engaged in an illegal street race on Interstate 5 in the city of Commerce, causing the multiple-vehicle traffic collision.

The vehicle is described as a newer model black or dark blue Dodge Charger with tinted windows.

The other suspected street racer, Dealio Lockhart, 35, of Whittier, was charged with three counts of second-degree murder and four counts of reckless driving in relation to the incident on March 1.

Present at the press conference were the family and friends of the victims, Michelle Littlefield, 19, and Brian Lewandowski, 18 of Santa Clarita; and Scott Treadway, 52, of Mira Loma.
