Car Murder

RIVERSIDE (CNS) – A 31-year-old convicted felon accused of running over and killing an acquaintance during a dispute in a Norco parking lot was charged Thursday with murder.

Aubrey McGee of Riverside was arrested Tuesday following a Riverside County Sheriff’s Department investigation into the death of 57-year-old Bahman Nowrozi of Norco.

McGee, who is being held on $1 million bail at the Robert Presley Jail, was slated to make her initial court appearance Thursday afternoon at the Riverside Hall of Justice.

According to sheriff’s Sgt. Jarred Bishop, shortly after midnight Tuesday, the defendant was involved in an unspecified conflict with Nowrozi in the parking lot of a strip mall near the intersection of Hamner and Mountain avenues.

Bishop alleged that during the confrontation, McGee ran over the victim. She did not attempt to flee.

Patrol deputies reached the location within minutes and found Nowrozi gravely injured. He was taken to a Riverside hospital, where he died a short time later.

McGee was taken into custody without incident.

A possible motive for the alleged attack was not specified, but the sergeant confirmed that the defendant and victim knew one another.

Court records show McGee has a prior felony conviction in another jurisdiction, but the offense wasn’t listed. She additionally has an unresolved misdemeanor case pending for driving on a suspended license in Riverside County.
