Five alleged gang members have been charged with the attempted murder and carjacking of a woman, 12 weeks pregnant, in Sunland, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced March 25. Tanya Nguyen, 33, was stabbed multiple times. Nguyen is an elementary school teacher.

Deputy District Attorney Adan Montalban of the Hardcore Gang Division said Christian Reyes, 20, Andrew Bran, 19, Jesus Morales, 18, Christina Luna, 24, and Monica Gomez, 25, are expected to be arraigned at Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The defendants will be charged with one count each of willful, deliberate and premeditated attempted murder, carjacking, second-degree robbery and hit-and-run driving resulting in property damage, which is a misdemeanor. The criminal complaint includes an allegation that the offense was committed for the benefit of and at the direction of a criminal street gang.

Reyes, who also faces an allegation of personal use of a deadly and dangerous weapon, a knife, is additionally charged with one count of aggravated mayhem.

On March 20 around 6 p.m., the victim was parking her vehicle outside of her residence when Reyes, Bran and Morales allegedly ambushed and robbed her. Reyes is accused of stabbing the victim multiple times before the men fled in the victim’s car, colliding with other vehicles as they attempted to leave the scene. Luna and Gomez were nearby in a getaway vehicle, prosecutors said.

Bail for Reyes was recommended at $1.9 million and $1.4 million for the other defendants. If convicted as charged, the defendants face a possible maximum sentence of life in state prison.

The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles Police Dept. The arraignment has been continued to April 17.
