A jury has found Nicole Linton guilty of second-degree murder in a 2022 fiery crash that claimed the lives of six people in Windsor Hills.

Today the jury deliberated for just three hours before reaching a verdict of guilty on all six counts of second-degree murder.

Prosecutors said Linton, who was 37 at the time, floored the gas pedal for at least five seconds before slamming into multiple vehicles at the intersection of Slauson and La Brea avenues on August 4, 2022.

Defense attorneys argued that Linton, who was working as a traveling nurse at the time of the crash, suffered a medical emergency brought on by a seizure.

Prosecutors said that was not the case, arguing that Linton intentionally accelerated into the intersection before the collision.

Linton’s sentencing hearing will be on Dec. 1.

🗣️Kisha Sardin We never realized the value that was right here in our own neighborhoods.

And some of us now can’t even afford to move back home in the neighborhoods that raised us.🥺

BUT there’s still opportunities to buy here in LA. We may just have to work a bit harder to do it!

As Skipp reminds us, the work happening along the Crenshaw Corridor is bigger than any one person or organization, but it’s about people coming together, working in unity, and sharing a commitment to the community.
