According to a police report, Friedrich Allmendinger, 22, Thomas Gibson, 23, and Faustino Sanchez, 23, were driving home after picking up some late-night hamburgers. A Dodge Ram pickup truck raced through a red light and slammed into the victims' Volkswagen.
Allmendinger, Gibson, and Sanchez all died at the scene.
According to witnesses, the driver of the Dodge Ram, who was later identified as Jesus Lopez Gonzales, emerged from his truck, grabbed his white cowboy hat from the passenger seat, and casually strolled away.
More than a decade has passed, and Gonzalez has never resurfaced.
