Lighting candles and leaving messages on the sidewalk, family and friends gathered Saturday night to remember two couples killed in a crash as police continued to search for a driver who may have been street racing.
Four friends in their 20s, Denny Lomeli, Amanda Alfer, Lena Ammari and Martin Gomez, died in a fiery crash Friday about 11 p.m. in a crash police say might have been caused by street racing.
Investigators say the car hit freeway speeds. Home security footage provided by police shows a black four-door sedan speed past Lassen Street around 11 p.m.
"It's devastating," said Jocelyn Villarreal, a friend. "I feel for all of the families of all four of them.
Investigators say the driver lost control, hit a light pole crashed into a tree and the car caught fire. The impact ripped apart a silver BMW. Friends say Gomez was behind the wheel and recently bought the car.
"He was an amazing guy, like a brother, said warner Flores, who worked with Gomez and his twin brother at a local BMW dealership. "He was going to be a master technician."
