Police were called to a vehicle crash involving a motorcycle on the evening of May 17 at the intersection of Lockwood Avenue and Williams Street.
An investigation determined that Lemus-Portillo was driving south in a Toyota Corolla on Lockwood Avenue and turning left onto Williams Street when he collided into the motorcycle the 17-year-old was driving. Lemus-Portillo stayed on scene and cooperated with the investigation, police said.
