Attorneys who represent the family of Monique Muñoz, who was killed when then-teenager Brendan Khuri ran a red light driving a Lamborghini SUV in West Los Angeles, announced that an $18.85 million settlement was reached in the case.
Prosecutors confirmed the teen's provisional driver’s license had been suspended at the time of the crash. They also learned that he'd been
by the Beverly Hills Police Department in 2020, including driving 72 miles per hour on surface streets.Although the fatal crash happened on Feb. 17, Khuri wasn't charged until April 7. Relatives of the victim and activists had alleged that charges had not been filed earlier because of the wealth and influence of the teen driver's father,
, described by Forbes as a multimillionaire who owns several real estate firms, manufacturing companies and an e-commerce business.Capt. Brian Wendling told the Los Angeles Times the Lamborghini driver's arrest was only delayed by the fact that he had to be hospitalized for injuries sustained in the crash.
Critics also argued that James Khuri's influence and status led to what the victim's family believed was a rather lenient sentence. The multimillionaire received heavy criticism for giving his teenage son the $200,000 Lamborghini as a birthday gift in 2020. It was also revealed in the investigation that before the deadly crash Khuri and his father often posted on social media platforms about their involvement in illegal speed exhibitions, often with each other. James Khuri was charged with a misdemeanor for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. His hearing is set for June 8.
