A California woman is facing life in prison after allegedly running over a man she claimed was trying to kill a cat.
Hannah Star Esser, 20, has been charged with one felony count of murder in the death of Luis Anthony Victor, 43.

The father of five got into a verbal altercation with Esser Sunday night when she confronted him in a profanity-laced tirade she captured on video. Victor had gotten out of his vehicle to speak to Esser. Instead of driving away, Esser allegedly got back in her car, made a U-turn, aimed at Victor, and hit the accelerator.
“Victor was launched up onto the hood and windshield and flipped several times before he landed in the street,” the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement. “Victor was pronounced dead at the scene.”
Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer called Esser’s alleged actions “a complete disregard for human life” and vowed, “This random act of targeting a stranger will be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.”
