Fatal Traffic Collision
on Sepulveda and Mariposa
On March 4, at approximately 10:30 p.m.,
officers from the El Segundo Police Department
responded to an injury traffic collision
involving a pedestrian and motor vehicle at
the intersection of Sepulveda Boulevard and
Mariposa Avenue.
The initial investigation indicates the vehicle
Julie Degrazia entered the carport of her
apartment building and observed two unknown
males standing next to a neighbor’s vehicle, as
well as an unfamiliar car parked with its hood
up. Because she did not recognize the men and
the other car, she left the garage and reported it
to her apartment manager, Janis Sim. Degrazia
told Sim the men appeared to be working on
their car, but that they seemed suspicious.
Sim immediately called the police. Degrazia
returned to the carport and found the men
were now standing next to the vehicle with
the hood up and she overheard one suggest
they make it look like they were working
on the car. Degrazia drove her vehicle out of
the carport and stopped it in the driveway to
prevent the suspects from driving the vehicle
out. Sim also parked her vehicle next to Degrazia’s
to further prevent the suspects from
leaving. When officers arrived, they discovered
the suspects were siphoning gasoline out of
vehicles. Degrazia’s and Sim’s quick action led
to the arrest of two burglary suspects.
