Southern California woman allegedly uses car to kill man amid ‘domestic altercation’
A 34-year-old woman in Riverside County has been arrested for allegedly hitting and killing a man with her vehicle in what authorities described as a “domestic altercation.”
Deputies with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department responded to the 1200 block of Hamner Avenue in Norco Tuesday just before 12:30 a.m. on reports of a collision involving a vehicle and a pedestrian.
At the scene, deputies located a 57-year-old man from Riverside, later identified as Bahman Nowrozi, suffering from severe injuries consistent with a traffic collision, a RCSD news release stated.
The 57-year-old was rushed to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Deputies also located Riverside resident Aubrey McGee, the driver of the vehicle that struck the man, at the scene.
Authorities said that once it was preliminarily determined that the traffic collision was the result of a domestic dispute, the scene was secured, and the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department’s Central Homicide Unit responded and assumed the investigation.

Authorities did not provide any information about the nature of McGee’s relationship to the victim.
Anyone with information about this investigation is urged to contact Riverside County Sheriff’s Department Investigator V. Magana of the Central Homicide Unit at 951-955-2777 or Investigator S. Budnik of the Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Station at 951-955-2600.
