Family members on Monday identified a 3-year-old boy who was struck and killed by a vehicle in the Vermont Vista neighborhood of South Los Angeles the previous evening.

Aiden Cortez was walking with his mother on a sidewalk in the area of West 92nd and South Figueroa streets around 5 p.m. Sunday when, according to a woman who witnessed the crash, a driver lost of control of the vehicle and hit the child.

She said the force of the collision knocked the boy into the gated yard of homeowner Christopher Taylor. Aiden was rushed to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“As a parent, your heart goes out to [the mother] because nobody – no parent ever wants to have to bury their child, especially a baby," Taylor told KTLA.

Aiden's grief-stricken mother could be seen crying outside Taylor's home on Monday, in front of a makeshift memorial devoted to her slain little boy.

In the immediate aftermath of the crash, Taylor and others attempted to save the toddler’s life and tried to hold the driver until first responders arrived.

“The neighbors got involved and stepped in and were able to stop him from getting away," the homeowner said. "He made several attempts, which is another sad issue … he was trying to get away and making matters worse.”

Taylor also noted that it appeared the driver was under the influence of something.

The Los Angeles Police Department released few details about the incident, but identified the suspect to KTLA as George Milton Jr., a resident of Gardena.

L.A. County booking records indicated the 32-year-old was arrested around 7:50 p.m. Sunday and booked into jail later that night.
 
He was a handsome wee tyke.
So very sorry for this loss and my heart goes out to the family.

The driver is a gutless coward for trying to flee.
Glad the bystanders got a hold of him.
Hope they effed him up significantly as well.
Kind of a preview of his life to come once he hits jail.
 
So very sad for his Mommy, she was just out spending time with her little boy. To have something like this happen has to be a nightmare.
Wonder what was so important that this dickbag had to get into a vehicle intoxicated and drive?
His next stop should be HELL, or wherever he will suffer the most horrific pain for eternity.

George Edward Milton Jr., 33, was sentenced to 12 years in state prison after pleading no contest to one count of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office announced Friday, Nov. 30.

On May 20, a woman was walking with her 3-year-old son on the sidewalk near 92nd Street and Figureoa Street in Los Angeles when Milton, driving under the influence of alcohol, lost control of his vehicle, drove up on the sidewalk and struck the boy, Deputy District Attorney Jessica Kronstadt said.

Milton’s car then crashed into a nearby gate. He put the car in reverse and ran over the boy again, Kronstadt said.

Milton tried to flee the area, but was stopped by bystanders before Los Angeles police arrived and took him into custody.

The child was rushed to a hospital to be treated, but was pronounced dead.
