Boating Collision Update
During the early morning of Sept. 6, 2015, there was a tragic collision between two boats in the waters off Catalina Island. The collision resulted in the death of one man, Michael Harris, and the presumed death of another, Tyler Hayden, whose body was never found. Last week, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office filed misdemeanor manslaughter charges against two men who were operating the boats. McKenna Duley, 26, of Costa Mesa, and a 17-year-old minor, also of Costa Mesa, surrendered at Century Sheriff’s Station where they were booked and cited. The charges stemmed from the unsafe operation of a boat by not having lights at night. Homicide detectives interviewed more than 30 witnesses who were in and around the area of the crash, and directed a forensic examination of both vessels before presenting the case for filing consideration.
