Two men were charged with robbery and murder Friday in the death of a 32-year-old Orange County woman who was run over in a Garden Grove parking lot and then dragged alongside her assailant’s vehicle as they tried to flee, authorities said.

Giovanni Solomon Guy, 20, and Gregory Walker, 19, both of Los Angeles, were charged with the murder of Nga Ngoc Nguyen, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office. The charge came with a special circumstance allegation because the crime occurred during the commission of a robbery.

The special allegation makes Walker and Guy eligible for the death penalty.

Prosecutors said Guy and Walker confronted Nguyen about 9:45 a.m. Wednesday at the Garden Grove Plaza, authorities said. They said Walker grabbed Nguyen from behind, threw her to the ground and grabbed her purse.

The purse’s strap was wrapped around Nguyen’s wrist and Walker dragged her back to their SUV while Guy got in the driver’s seat, prosecutors said. The robbery was captured on surveillance video.

As Guy accelerated, Nguyen was dragged alongside the vehicle and run over, police and prosecutors said. Nguyen was taken to a trauma center, where she was pronounced dead.

At the time of the slaying, Walker was out on bail on two felony counts of robbery, one felony count of receiving stolen property and one felony count of burglary. Guy was out on bail on one felony count of robbery and one count of carrying a concealed firearm, prosecutors said.

Prosecutors identified a third man as Brad Maurice Brown Jr., 19, of Hawthorne. He was charged with one felony count of robbery and faces a minimum sentence of two years if convicted of robbery, prosecutors said.

"The Orange County District Attorney is taken aback by the brutal and callous acts of the defendants which resulted in the death of Nga Nguyen," Orange County Dist. Atty. Todd Spitzer said in a statement. "The Orange County District Attorney's Office would like to extend its sincerest condolences to the loved ones of Nga Nguyen."

A 19-year-old man involved in a purse snatching that turned deadly when the victim was run over by a car as the assailants fled the scene pleaded guilty to robbery and was sentenced to five years in prison, according to court records obtained Monday.

Brad Maurice Brown Jr. of Hawthorne admitted one felony count of second-degree robbery on Friday in the West Justice Center in Westminster. He was given credit for spending 92 days in jail and received the maximum punishment.

Co-defendants Gregory Anthony Walker Jr., 19, and Giovanni Solomon Guy, 20, both of Los Angeles, are next due in court Aug. 7 for a pretrial hearing in the West Justice Center in Westminster.
​
Walker and Guy are charged with murder, with a special circumstance allegation of murder during the course of a robbery. The charges make them both eligible for the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole at a minimum if they are convicted. The two are also charged with committing crimes while out on bail on an unrelated case.

Guy was allegedly driving the robbery crew’s getaway car and Walker is accused of grabbing the victim’s purse, said Garden Grove police Lt. Carl Whitney.

Wow, he intentionally dragged her toward the vehicle so thye could run her over. 100% intentional. Can not be denied that was their intent.

Wonder why they gave the other dude a free pass. Very odd. Even with video proof, prosectuors frequently make deals for some reason. It could be the ase here.
