$135K Offered For Info In Deadly USC Hit-&-Run

LOS ANGELES (CBS) - The University of Southern California Wednesday announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a driver who struck and killed one freshman student and seriously injured another.

The Los Angeles County Council is offering a $75,000 reward and the Board of Supervisors will contribute $10,000, which totals $135,000.

Adrianna Bachan, 19, and Marcus Garfinkle, also 19, were in a crosswalk on Jefferson Boulevard at Hoover Street about 3 a.m. Sunday when a car heading east on Jefferson ran a red light and struck them, according to police.

Bachan, a freshman from Santa Barbara, was killed. She was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority and majoring in environmental studies, according to USC's newspaper, the Daily Trojan.

Garfinkle, a freshman from Scottsdale, Ariz., and a member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, was hospitalized at California Hospital Medical Center, the Daily Trojan reported.

After the car hit Garfinkle, the driver stopped long enough for a passenger to pull him off the hood, witnesses told LAPD officers.

Bachan died from her injuries at a hospital. Garfinkle was carried 500 feet on the windshield of the car before the vehicle stopped and a passenger removed his body from the hood of the car and threw him to the ground, according to witnesses. He is still in serious condition.

The passenger was described only as a Hispanic male.

The suspect vehicle was black, and believed to be a 1999 to 2002 Honda Accord or Toyota Corolla. It had a broken windshield and extensive front-end damage after the crash.

Anyone with more information was asked to call detectives at (323) 290-6063 during normal office hours, or (877) LAPD-24/7 nights or weekends.
