After being arrested, Oscar De La Cruz admitted to injecting heroin and ingesting fentanyl, officers said.
The coroner and family members have since identified the two victims as 46-year-old Christopher Teagardin and 49-year-old Timothy Schultz. The two men were best friends. Two innocent people who were getting tacos for their families were killed when a pursuit crash came to a violent end in the San Fernando Valley.
After the crash, police say De La Cruz attempted to run but was arrested after a minor use of force. Officers say De La Cruz appeared to be under the influence of narcotics. He then admitted to injecting heroin and ingesting fentanyl. Officers administered three doses of Narcan to De La Cruz and he was taken to the hospital. A passenger inside his vehicle sustained minor injuries.
Police say De La Cruz has an extensive criminal history and was on parole. He's been charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter, one count of "Fleeing a Pursuing Peace Officer’s Motor Vehicle Causing Death", one count of felony hit-and-run, and one misdemeanor count of "Driving Without Owners Consent." Additional charges could be filed pending toxicology reports.
