The Burnout has been following the drama<\/a> surrounding Israel “Izzy” Valenzuela, a participant on the Discovery Channel’s Street Outlaws, <\/em>as\u00a0he was involved in an illegal street race in Southern California that killed\u00a0two spectators. Recently, a new suspect has been brought into the case.<\/p>\n

According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, Karen Gary Balyan is the alleged driver of the Mustang that went off-course and killed spectators Eric Siguenza and Wilson Thomas Wong in an incident unrelated to Street Outlaws<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Israel “Izzy” Valenzuela was previously identified as the driver of the Nissan GTR that was racing Balyan while Henry Michael Gevorgyan is accused of organizing the illegal races.<\/p>\n

All three suspects have been charged with murder and\u00a0the pre-trial is set to begin on June 11, 2015. According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, Valenzuela and Gevorgyan have posted bail. Balyan’s bail has been set at $3 million.<\/p>\n

Each defendant is facing a possible sentence of 33 years to life in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n
