The parents of a man killed during an illegal street race in Chatsworth two months ago have sued the owner of the car that hit him.
Eric Siguenza, 26, of Los Angeles was watching a nighttime speed contest near Canoga Avenue and Plummer Street on Feb. 26 when a souped-up Ford Mustang spun out of control and plowed into the crowd. Siguenza and another spectator, Wilson Thomas Wong, 50, of Torrance, were killed, and a third man was injured.
Siguenza's parents, Reynaldo Siguenza and Maria Perez-Siguenza, filed a civil lawsuit this week against Henry Michael Gevorgyan, the owner of the Mustang. Irael Valenzuela, 39, the driver of the other vehicle in the race, also was named in the suit filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Police initially identified Gevorgyan, 22, as one of two drivers in the race and distributed his photo, which quickly rocketed across the Internet. Gevorgyan turned himself in to police days later, but video shot at the race showed he was not driving the car, his attorney, Kate Hardie, said. In the video, he appears to be flagging the drivers to start the race.
The Siguenzas' lawsuit also says that Gevorgyan was not driving and that the plaintiffs do not know the identity of the driver. The suit alleges that Valenzuela was driving a Nissan GTR and that the owner of that vehicle is also unknown.
The complaint alleges negligence, assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Eric Siguenza's parents seek unspecified damages. They say that they suffered grief and shock after their son's death and that they bore economic damages, including medical expenses and funeral costs.

Long Beach police fatally shoot unarmed man after graffiti reports
A 19-year-old unarmed man was fatally wounded by Long Beach police after they believed he was pointing a gun, officials said Friday.
Hector Morejon of Long Beach was shot an unknown number of times Thursday afternoon and taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead, according to the Long Beach Police Department.
Police said officers received a report that several people were trespassing and vandalizing a vacant apartment in the 1100 block of Hoffman Avenue.
When they arrived, they found an open window in the back of the apartment and a broken window.
An officer peered into the apartment and saw a man standing against a wall, then turning toward him, police said.
The man bent his knees and extended his arm “as if pointing an object which the officer perceived was a gun,” police said.
“At this point, an officer-involved shooting occurred,” police said.
No weapons were found at the scene.
Officers said the apartment was spray-painted with gang-related graffiti.

A 36-year-old man from Torrance has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting a 2-year-old girl kidnapped from a carwash, police said Wednesday.
Michael Ikeler is accused of snatching the toddler from a self-service carwash in the 14000 block of Western Avenue in Gardena, then dropping her off two hours later in a Cudahy parking lot, according to the Gardena Police Department.
The girl’s mother immediately noticed her daughter’s disappearance. In a recording of the 911 call released Wednesday, she frantically told police, "I heard her scream … I heard her say, 'Mom.' "
The mother later said, “I turned around … and she was gone.”
Police launched a countywide search for the girl, with photos distributed to the media that showed her earlier in the day wearing a purple backpack and a T-shirt with a butterfly print.

The woman won't look away from the dark huddle of uniforms standing behind a yellow police tape barrier that flaps back and forth in an occasional breeze. There, on the other side of this South Los Angeles parking lot, her brother is lying, still.
Two men in suits approach her. Their expressions signal bad news. Their words confirm it: Earlier in the night, her brother was shot in the head and killed.
Barbara de Lima, a grandmotherly figure with curly white hair, stands beside the family as they talk to the detectives. When a family member begins to cry, de Lima gives her a water bottle along with soothing words of comfort. The woman falls onto her, and de Lima cradles her head on her shoulder, calling her "honey."
In her blue polo shirt bearing the crest of the city of Los Angeles, de Lima is part of a team of 250 Angelenos who are dispatched alongside police and firefighters to the site of almost every death in the city: shootings, car accidents, suicides, fires and natural deaths.
And they do it all — drive across the city in the middle of the night, linger at dangerous homicide scenes — for free.

Fourteen people were rushed to the hospital with burns after a major gas line explosion near the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office gun range Friday, a fire official said.
The blast occurred behind the range about 2:30 p.m. when a county worker leading a team of inmates constructing a dirt road accidentally struck the gas line, said Fresno Fire Department spokesman Pete Martinez.
Thirty-five firefighters quickly subdued the blaze, and Pacific Gas & Electric cut off the gas supply to the line, Martinez said.
The county worker leading the team and at least one of the inmates were critically injured in the explosion, which sent a fireball 100 feet into the sky, authorities said. The inmates were part of a work program at the Fresno County Jail, Martinez said.
“I heard a whirring sound like a helicopter, then two booms and fire,” said Mark Price, who witnessed the blast.
Spencer Olson was drilling for water nearby.
“My jaw dropped,” he said. “I saw an enormous fireball.”
The accident forced closure of Highway 99 in both directions for several hours, Martinez said.
Investigators were still working Friday evening to identify what ignited the blaze.
Martinez said the investigation was hindered by a large crater with heavy equipment demolished in the fire. Investigators were unable to speak with the county worker who was leading the team.
Fresno County Supervisor Henry R. Perea told the Fresno Bee that burns covered more than 30% of the employee’s body, including his torso, legs, arms and hands.
“He is pretty lucky,” Perea told the newspaper. “As the gas line was exploding, he was jumping off the equipment, so he kind of saved himself by acting quickly.”
The California Public Utilities Commission sent a team to the scene of the blast, according to Terrie Prosper, a spokeswoman for the agency.
“The CPUC will conduct a full investigation of the explosion and has already coordinated with the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration,” she said.

"Knock, Knock, It's Tig Notaro" (Showtime, premieres Friday). A beautifully made documentary road picture, co-directed by Michael LaHaie and Christopher Wilcha, that accompanies comedian Tig Notaro and opening act/driver John Dore, on a 2013 summer house-concert tour (a house, field, pop-up venue tour, to be precise).
Notaro fans applied to be her hosts. "Are you at all scared of these people?" asks Nick Kroll, to whom Notaro is showing videos from some of them, before leaving. "Absolutely," she replies. (Kroll: "Have you performed in a barn?" Notaro: "Yeah. I've been doing this 17 years." Kroll: "Have you ever performed for a swamp full of alligators?" Notaro: "No, I've only been doing standup for 17 years.") She had done this sort of performance before, as "an experiment in seeing if I could do comedy in a nontraditional venue," frames the present trip, which followed a well-publicized series of health crises and the death of her mother, as a way to get to know her audience.
Slight but steely, she seems like someone who could take you without lifting a finger — by the power of her regard and her clown horn imitation. ("You realize what you're laughing at? It's not much at all.") A lot of what she does onstage — not uniquely, though (I have seen on multiple occasions) with uncommon brilliance — involves shaping the room, playing the crowd, chaning the energy and the temperature. "Knock, Knock" focuses on the off-book, moments, the unplanned exchange leading to the unpredictable conclusion.
Like all road movies, this one is about the temporary intersection of worlds — the portable world of the performers and the settled worlds they pass through. The dates run from Chicago into the south, through impressive weather, green fields and mossy swamps, down to Mississippi, where Notaro was born.
She and Dore make good company for each other and for the viewer. Driving along they create bits, commit horseplay; they stop in thrift stores ("Tig, do you need soccer cleats — with the dirt still on them?"), buy fireworks and shoot them off. Some of their hosts build bigger shows around them, with bands and other comics; some venues are spectacularly intimate — this is close-work comedy. It feels daring, and it feels joyous.
The film winds up in Pluto, Miss., "population eight or nine on a good day," with a performance in a field, on a flatbed trailer lighted by tractor lights. The sky is full of muscled clouds. It rains a little. Tig plays some drums.
