Two people were arrested Monday in connection with the hit-and-
run death of a wheelchair-bound man in Pacoima last month,
police announced Tuesday.

Manuel Dejesus Segovia Gonzalez, 40, of Pacoima, was crossing
southbound Terra Bella Street just east of Cayuga Avenue about 8
p.m. Sept. 26 when he was struck by a vehicle which did not
stop, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Gonzalez
was dragged approximately 100 feet. He was pronounced dead after
being transported to the hospital by paramedics.

Tatiana Cacho, 24, of Pacoima, and Christian Olvera, 23 of North
Hollywood, were taken into custody a few blocks from where the
victim was fatally struck.

Cacho was booked for felony hit and run and was being held on
$50,000 bail. Olvera was booked for being an “accessory after
the fact” and was being held on $25,000 bail. A 2005 Cadillac
SRX which detectives believe was used in the collision was
impounded.

According to police, anonymous witnesses viewed media coverage
of the incident and provided police with leads which led to to
the arrests.

“Leads from the community were instrumental in locating the
suspects,” police said in a statement.

Anyone with additional information should call the LAPD Valley
Traffic Division at (818) 644-8000.
