A 15-year-old minibike rider was killed early Monday morning in a hit-and-run crash in Los Angeles' Koreatown.
Family members said they found out about a minibike crash on the Citizen app and went to the scene at Olympic Boulevard and Arapahoe Street. That's where they recognized some of Joseph Rangel's belongings scattered in the street.
"His body was covered with a white sheet, but we saw his belongings and recognized his stuff," said sister Stacey Rangel.
The crash was reported at about 1:30 a.m. The minibike was northbound on Arapahoe Street when the rider lost control and slid into the intersection, where it was struck by a vehicle traveling east on Olympic Boulevard, the LAPD said.
