Long was pronounced dead on the scene. A 26-year-old male passenger in the Mustang was transported to Loma Linda University Medical Center and later released. Ochoa Torres fled the scene on foot and was located with the assistance of the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department helicopter a short time later hiding in a nearby ravine.
