Pasadena Police Arrest One After Car Involved In Hit-and-Run Discovered to Have Been Carjacked

Pasadena Police arrested one suspect and are searching for a second suspect after a hit-and-run accident that occurred Sunday night at Arroyo Parkway and Fillmore Street.

At approximately 7:45 p.m., officers responded to the scene of a two-car car accident.

Arriving officers saw two fleeing suspects.

With the help of other officers and a Pasadena helicopter, a containment was established. One suspect was eventually located and taken into custody. The second suspect was not found.

The vehicle the suspect were driving was determined to be a stolen car that had been taken in a carjacking in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Police Department responded and took custody of the first suspect, who Pasadena police identified as Luis Flores-Pineda, 18, of Carson.

The victim of the hit-and-run was transported by Pasadena Fire Dept. paramedics to a local hospital with minor injuries.

The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information about the second suspect is asked to contact the Pasadena Police Department at (626) 744-4241.
