After weeks of canvassing the neighborhood surrounding the accident site and vehicle collision centers, investigators recovered the suspect’s vehicle.
Combining physical evidence and witness statements, investigators identified the suspect involved in the collision as 34-year-old Oceanside resident Sean Richter.
