The fatal crash took place at around 11am at the intersection of Riverside Drive and Whitsett Avenue in the Valley Village neighborhood as West Hollywood Station Detective Amber Leist, 41, was returning to her vehicle.

Leist, a 12-year veteran of the department, was rushed to an area hospital where she was pronounced dead, LA County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said at a press conference on Sunday evening.

The driver of the car that claimed Leist’s life reportedly remained at the scene and attempted to render aid.

Investigation Report

‘Today, the LASD is grieving. We are shocked and stunned by the sudden loss of a family member,’ Villanueva told reporters. ‘God had a better plan for her and she was called home.’

According to the sheriff, the detective leaves behind two sons: a 20-year-old who is currently on active duty in the US Navy and his 17-year-old brother.

The sheriff said during the press conference that Leist was waiting at a red light to make a left turn when she noticed two people crossing the street, and one of them stumbled and fell.

She put her vehicle in park, walked over to the crosswalk, helped the senior citizen up and led her across the intersection to the sidewalk.

As the detective was making her way back to her vehicle, Villanueva said a car traveling eastbound on Riverside Drive hit her when the light turned green.

LAPD Commander Marc Reina said the driver is cooperating with the investigation, which is ongoing. So far, no charges have been filed.

the sheriff’s office on Twitter showed deputies line up to salute Detective Leist’s flag-draped body as it was loaded into a coroner’s van to be transported from Cedar Sinai Hospital to the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner.

Villanueva said Leist began her career in law enforcement at the North County Correctional Facility, then moved to Lancaster Station, and five years ago she transferred to the West Hollywood Station, where she rose to the rank of detective after working as a patrolwoman and a school resource officer.

‘She was an outstanding detective who would lead by example, and she definitely led by example through an act of kindness,’ he said.

Frances Bean Cobain Net Worth: Frances Bean Cobain is an American artist who has a net worth of $200 million. Frances Bean Cobain was born in Los Angeles, California, in 1992, the daughter of Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain and Hole singer Courtney Love. Cobain’s godparents are actress Drew Barrymore and R.E.M. front man Michael Stipe. She made headlines before her birth after accusations surfaced that Love used heroin during the pregnancy. Child welfare services launched an investigation after Love’s seemingly incriminating interview with “Vanity Fair”, and Cobain was taken from her parents two weeks after she was born. She was eventually returned to her parents. In 1994, Cobain visited her father in rehab, seeing him for the last time; he was found dead a week later. In 2003, Cobain went to live with her grandmother after another drug arrest for Love, who had recently overdosed on pills. It took two years for Love to regain custody of her daughter. In 2009, a judge issued a temporary restraining order to keep Love from Cobain, who, one year later, would inherit more than a third of her father’s estate. Soon after, she purchased her first home. Cobain has a relatively new modeling career, appearing in the pages of “Elle” and “Harper’s Bazaar”. She used a pseudonym to release a collection of her artwork in 2010. Cobain reportedly turn down the starring role in “Alice in Wonderland” to focus on her education at Bard College. She married her longtime boyfriend, Isaiah Silva in 2014. They divorced in 2016. In 2017 she became the face of the Spring/Summer campaign for Marc Jacobs. Nirvana Trust: As part of her divorce proceedings, we learned quite a bit about Frances’ financial status.

Her recent legal documents also showed that Frances earns well over $100,000 per month from her late father’s estate in the form of royalties, publishing rights and investment dividends.
