A teenager accused of driving over and killing a Garden Grove man in El Monte is scheduled for a court hearing on June 2.

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, the 16-year-old boy is facing two counts of second degree robbery, and one count of murder.

The youth’s identity is not public, as he is a juvenile. He will appear in Eastlake Juvenile Court to answer the charges.

He is accused of driving a car that ran over and finally injured Kourosh Yaghoubi, 63, in a shoplifting incident on April 9. The victim was trying to stop thieves who had taken goods from Giant Discount, a store owned by the victims’ brother.

One of the suspects ran out of the store and was chased by Yaghoubi, who was allegedly struck and run over by a vehicle driven by the suspect.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies believe there were at least four persons in the car – a blue sedan – and they are being sought.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department detective bureau at (323) 890-5500.
