One year later, the family of a father and 3-year-old girl killed in a hit-and-run crash in Long Beach is still hoping the driver will be brought to justice.
For years, neighbors described Bottoms Up Tavern as a menace. It wasn’t until the deaths of a toddler and her father that authorities moved decisively against the bar.
Community members, along with city leaders, have rallied behind the Palacios family for more than a month after the deaths of 42-year-old Jose and 3-year-old Samantha when a pickup truck crashed into the family's studio apartment on March 1.
During her final visit to gather belongings in the studio apartment she shared with her husband and two kids, Esnelia Palacios prayed and told her husband to take their daughter and guide her wherever they may be.
