Family of Eli Long Seeks Justice After Fatal Lynwood Hit-and-Run
LOS ANGELES, CA (October 4, 2024) — Last week in Lynwood, a tragic hit-and-run incident resulted in the death of Elijah Long, a local motorcyclist.
The crash occurred when a car turned in front of Eli Long, who was returning home from a food bank, leading to his untimely death. Found at the scene were a loaf of bread and a can of corn he had just picked up. His family has been left devastated, searching for answers and urging the responsible driver to come forward.
Cristina Long, Eli’s sister, expressed the family’s grief to ABC7, highlighting Elijah’s passion for motorcycling and their determination to seek justice. “He rode his motorcycle every single day. He loved to be on his bike,” she said. The community has also rallied in support, leaving tribute messages such as “Ride in paradise” and holding a candlelight vigil at the crash site at the intersection of Arlington and Atlantic.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating the incident, and a flyer seeking witnesses or video evidence of the crash has been posted at the scene. Pink and blue flowers now mark the spot, symbolizing the community’s mourning and remembrance. In the face of such a tragedy, the Long family encourages anyone with information to assist in the investigation.
