PASADENA - A memorial ride was held late Tuesday night from Los Angeles
to a spot just south of Cordova Street on Los Robles Avenue for Alhambra
resident Jocelyn Young, who was killed there Sunday by a motorist.

About a dozen people, led by the bike group Midnight Ridazz
were on hand as the group memorialized Young, 24, with a "ghost bike."
The all white bike was chained and locked to a streetlight post near the
incident.

Earlier Tuesday, Nicholas Avila, 21, of Alhambra was released
after being arrested for allegedly running over Young and then fleeing.

Officials said their investigation into the alleged
hit-and-run is continuing.

Jesse "Aktive" Ramon of Cypress Park built and brought the
ghost bike to Pasadena. He said the bikes are meant to memorialize and
to remind motorists to share the road with cyclists.

Young's friend Brenna Cheyney, 23, of Los Angeles, spoke
shortly at the event.

"This is a tough time for us and her family," she said before
the memorial ride.

Young and her boyfriend had left a local bar Sunday and were
riding bicycles south on Los Robles, when Young fell off her bicycle and
was run over about 1 a.m., Pasadena police officials said.

Avila was booked on suspicion of hit-and-run and driving under
the

influence and was held at Pasadena police
jail in lieu of $100,000 bail before his release.

"It's a real tragic accident and a complex case, and we have to
make sure we're taking our time to make sure that every aspect of the
case is thoroughly investigated before we present our case to the D.A.'s
Office," Traffic Lt. Randell Taylor said.
