Police are searching for two robbers who ran over and killed a man after he won several thousand dollars
at a Southern California casino.
Police say the 55-year-old victim and a female friend were followed from the Hawaiian Gardens Casino by two men in a small gray car that cut them off Friday in Santa Ana.
Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna says one of the assailants chased down the fleeing suspect and fought with him over a cash-filled envelope. He says the suspect ran back to the car after knocking down the victim, who was then run over by the fleeing vehicle.
A knife and dozens of $20 bills were scattered near the victim's body. Bertagna says he does not know how much money the robbers took.
He says the victim, whose name has not been released, was not stabbed.
