Man charged with murder after doctor struck by car, stabbed while on bike ride in Dana Point

Vanroy Evan Smith also faces a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a deadly weapon. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment in the jail courtroom in Santa Ana.

"An innocent man is dead because he took a bike ride to enjoy a beautiful California day along the beach and he was hit with a car and stabbed to death by someone he apparently never met," said Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer. "The murder of a complete stranger in broad daylight for what appears to be absolutely no reason is the stuff of nightmares."

Smith is accused of killing Dr. Michael John Mammone, 58, about 3 p.m. Wednesday at Pacific Coast Highway and Crown Valley Parkway.

He should be charged with a federal hate crime and first degree murder. The American justice system is failing. His own words before and during the murder clearly show his motivation was race based hate. HateCrime

Where is White Lives Matter? Pure hate and racism there.

Hate crime

lets go back to public execution when 100% guilty with video, testimonial and physical evidence....30 days, no trial..

Cyclists are notorious for ignoring traffic laws and endangering drivers. This bicyclist allegedly cut off the driver shortly before the accident.

This new station constantly talks about racism against black and brown. Which there is. The hypocrisy is when it's against a white person it's crickets! That's why I don't watch your shit anymore

Bicyclists are azzholes and will yell at your car for no fn reason

Carry mace Especially if you live in a city run by democrats or near an open border You’re welcome 😉🎁

The media should share the responsibility for this. This Tweet seemed to leave out the racial slurs that the attacker yelled as he killed the victim. Always look out for the soft language from the media.

Do not spend money on trials it is a fact he is guilty

So did he follow Whoopi’s recommendation?

What about the part where the killer is muttering 'white privilege'

Latino kills man and everyone still want to find a reason to call him black 🙄

HATE CRIME!

Hope this man gets life sentence. He clearly was out to murder this doctor.

That’s what happens when you mess with another man’s wife.

Just look into the eyes of that savage animal. It belongs in a cage. And it killed a human, keep it locked up forever.

This man’s anger towards the bicyclists was disproportionate. He’s never getting out of jail now. People are so quick to anger with no thoughts of the consequences. He killed a respected Dr. A man who saved lives for a living. That’ll just ensure he’s done.

How about charging him with a Hate Crime?

Hate crime

Prayers for the doctors family.

😞🙏🏽🕊️🕯️

Coincidentally, photo of the innocent victim (an OC ER Dr) looks almost identical to OC DA Todd Spitzer! 🤔

One worthless, useless person destroyed the life of an ER doctor. This is so disgusting.

Hate crime

I'm surprised he's not out of jail yet. I'm surprised BLM isn't telling everybody he's innocent

If Obama had a son...

Why isn’t this a hate crime? Witnesses on scene reported the assailant saying “white privileg” while stabbing him

So sad 💔

bruhn_joyce This homicide is heinous and so are all the racists commenting on this thread.

Just saw the video. The hitting with the car didn't look intentional. Or am I wrong on that?

CNN donlemon you going to report on this racist act? This is the direct consequence of your constant race baiting of people with light colored skin. Hope you feel good about yourselves.

A negro attacking a white man. I’m sure it aint race related

Definitely road rage.

Fyi:

Hate crime. Racist Democrats with blood on their hands. Non-stop narrative that ytie is racist, privileged and must pay reparations. You all killed this doctor as you radicalize ppl. Blklivesmatter BLMLA

Evil!!

No reporting on potential criminal history? Just 'divorced accountant'?

'Allegedly'?! Wth!? You haven't seen the video? You have a team of crack propagandists supine betas that can word it in a way this POS did it.

Can’t force medication 💊 🤦🏽‍♂️

It’s a hate crime

GavinNewsom gonna speak about this hate crime or no?

😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔

GunControlNow

This is a hate crime California. Make sure you treat it as such.

he should have stayed in long beach

Good job raising the kids in hood lets go out and kill doctors cause there white ok

Orc alert 😟

Don’t tell me about mental health. Issues he has because I do not want him free in my society Do u ? I mean can’t ride a bike enjoy a nice day ? This suspect is driving on the road what just someone is not thinking

Victim was Michael John Mammone, a doctor at Providence Mission Hospital Laguna Beach. ER Doctor that saved many lives and the killer is a subhuman garbage

Hate crime, report as such MrAndyNgo pls

This is terrible but just as I suspected abc7 never fails to find a mug shot when it’s a person of color.

that damn white supremacy again.

Unbeweavable ppl today. Is road rage a sickness?

Sounds like another road rage incident in lawless California

Is this a racially motivated hate crime?

Black useless/evil man killed an innocent white doctor and you didn’t mention color/race

stop saying the names of the killers and not of the victims. Victims should be more important. “…of a bicyclist” and “the victim” should be his NAME

Doctor hate crime?

He was yelling racial slurs about white people during the attack, according to eyewitnesses. Why no hate crime enhancements, OCDAToddSpitzer?

Bicyclist dies after being hit by car, then stabbed on PCH in Dana PointA bizarre and violent incident is under investigation after officials said a cyclist died after they were struck by a car and then assaulted by the driver who hit them on PCH near Dana Point. He was targeted for sure. There's a word for intentional killing: murder. Making passive word choices like 'died after' when describing intentional lethal harm actively diminishes the significance of cyclists' basic right of existence.
