Cardoso de Oliveira, 40, who, along with their toddler, were killed on Saturday after a woman drove an SUV into a bus stop.
The bus stop and the bench at Ulloa Street and Lenox Way had been removed by Monday. Across the street, where the victims’ bodies were reportedly thrown, was another small altar. In the crowd, friends and strangers alike cried silently, as a pianist played Amazing Grace on a keyboard. Leticia said the couple loved music, hanging out at the park with friends, taking day trips and having picnics.
As of Monday afternoon, Lau had not been charged. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, said in statement that her office is “in the process of receiving case information and evidence from the police department.” The toxicology results, she wrote, would take time to process and the vehicle had to be checked for mechanical issues. The family’s nanny, Silvia Hernandez, remembered Ramos Pinto as a “beautiful human” with a “big heart.
