A woman who allegedly ran over her boyfriend outside a La Puente motel after an argument pleaded not guilty Tuesday to a murder charge.
Sharon Kay Hood, 52, of La Puente, is charged in the May 8 death of 51- year-old Randolph Morales.
The two — who had been dating for six years — had argued inside a motel room in the 500 block of North Azusa Avenue in La Puente before Hood abruptly went outside, according to police and prosecutors.
When Morales followed her outside, she allegedly ran over him with her car. He died at the scene, and Hood was arrested the same day.
The murder charge includes the allegation of use of a deadly and dangerous weapon — an automobile — during the commission of the crime.
If convicted as charged, Hood could face up to 26 years to life in state prison, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office.
