Moonshadows Malibu Owner, Son Killed In Woodland Hills Crash

MALIBU, CA — Moonshadows Malibu owner Andrea Bullo and his 13-year-old son Marco were killed in Tuesday's fiery Woodland Hills crash, loved ones told media outlets.

Moonshadows closed Thursday "due to an emergency," the restaurant announced on Instagram. It was not immediately clear when the beloved spot would reopen. The restaurant held a private vigil Wednesday, according to the Los Angeles Times.

"We are grieving right now as individuals and as a whole family,” an employee told the Los Angeles Times.

Hundreds of community-members took to social media to share condolences.

"My heart is broken with you all. He was the most gracious owner. Always so attentive and smiling. Thank you. RIP to you Andrea and your beautiful son," one person wrote.

The two-car collision occurred around 9:02 p.m. Tuesday near 23120 W Mulholland Drive, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Two people were declared dead on the scene, and another was treated and transported to the hospital, according to LAFD.

According to police, a person was driving a Toyota Camry eastbound at a high rate of speed when the car rear-ended a Ford Mustang, killing its two occupants.

Kevin Gonzales, 21, was hospitalized following the crash and later booked on suspicion of murder, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. He was held on $4 million bail, police said.

The Los Angeles County coroner's office withheld the names of the fatally injured people, described only as males, pending positive identification. But acquaintances and employees identified them to media outlets as Bullo and his son.
