$25K Reward Offered In Inglewood Father's Hit-and-Run Death
Nearly three years after his hit-and-run death, police are offering a $25,000 reward to find the people who killed an Inglewood father of five. José Gálvez Pineda, 41, died Dec. 6, 2020, when two speeding vehicles struck him as he tried to make a turn on his motorcycle to enter his home on the 2700 block of 108th Street. “I never imagined that right here in front is where the accident would happen. It was a terrible day. It was a bitter Christmas, a bitter Christmas,” said Maria Pineda, the victim’s mother. The suspect vehicles were a tan Tahoe and a black Cadillac Escalade, Inglewood Police Department spokeswoman Darlyn Quirarte said. According to a press release, witnesses said “one of the vehicles momentarily halted, with the driver rolling down their window to assess the situation,” but they saw Pineda was “incapacitated and in desperate need of help,” they quickly left, leaving Pineda on the ground, just steps away from his mother’s kitchen window. The case had gone cold, but thanks to efforts by Moisés Castillo, a retired detective, it was reopened.
