He also had diamond stud earrings and wore glasses with diamond accents at the hinge and on the bridge, police added.
Authorities are asking anyone who may have seen the crash or who have information on the Charger or its driver to call LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Joseph Johnson at 562-570-7132.
