Teen Charged In Fatal Lamborghini​ Crash

LOS ANGELES, CA — A teenage Lamborghini driver involved in a crash that killed a 32-year-old woman in West Los Angeles in February will face charges, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office confirmed Wednesday.

The decision to file charges against the 17-year-old son of a wealthy Los Angeles entrepreneur comes weeks after a series of demonstrations outside Mayor Eric Garcetti's official residence, Getty House. Relatives of Monique Munoz, who died when the teen's Lamborghini SUV crashed into her silver Lexus, had accused officials of showing favoritism to a wealthy Los Angeles family by delaying charges in the case. The teen driver's father is James Khuri. According to Forbes, he is a multimillionaire who owns several real estate firms, manufacturing companies and an e-commerce business.

However, investigators contended the case was delayed because the boy had to be hospitalized for injuries sustained in the crash.

Prosecutors revealed few details about the charges because it's being handled as a juvenile case.

"We have concluded our review of this case and filed charges based on the evidence and the law," said Ricardo Santiago, a public information officer with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

The teen is scheduled for arraignment April 23 in Juvenile Court in Inglewood.

News of the charges brought Munoz's mother to tears, she told CBS Los Angeles.

"I don't understand as a mother when your child is killed why you have to fight so hard to get charges filed or even enough attention," said Carol Cardona.

Munoz died at the scene of the crash in the early morning of Feb. 17 at 10730 Olympic Blvd., near Overland Avenue, according to Brian Humphrey with the Los Angeles Fire Department.

The elder Khuri apologized to Munoz's family via Instagram.

"Knowing that this will never do justice for the family of Monique Munoz, I want to apologize to the Munoz family for the tragic loss of their daughter," he wrote. "There are no words I can say to alleviate the pain that you are experiencing. And I realize none of my words or actions will be able to bring back your daughter.

Still, I want to offer my support in any way you will allow me to. My family and I pray for the Munoz family."
