SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A California woman has been charged with killing a man by ramming her car into him after accusing him of trying to run over a cat in the street.
Hannah Star Esser, 20, was charged with murder in the death of Victor Anthony Luis, 43, & detained on $1 million bail, the Orange County prosecutor’s office said.
Esser was driving in the community of Cypress on Sunday night when she confronted Luis & accused him of trying to run over a cat.
She & Luis both got out of their vehicles and got into an argument that Esser recorded.
Esser then returned to her car, turned around, drove toward Luis & hit him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
“This action showed a complete disregard for human life,” District Attorney Todd Spitzer said.
Luis, a father of 5 daughters, was expecting his first grandchild this fall. He was killed in front of his apartment building & “died in his only brother’s arms,” said a statement issued on behalf of his family Wednesday.
“This senseless act of violence has robbed the world of a bright light who will never be forgotten,” the statement said. A GoFundMe campaign has been established to pay for his funeral.
Esser was arrested Sunday & had an initial court appearance Tuesday. She is scheduled to be arraigned Oct. 13.
