SAN DIEGO – A driver who struck and killed a woman who was sitting on a curb in Ocean Beach has pleaded guilty to hit and run and possession of nitrous oxide, otherwise known as laughing gas.
The prosecutor said on Friday that the driver, Evan Anderson, will receive a sentence of two years’ probation, “with custody to be decided at sentencing.”
The maximum sentence is four years and six months in state prison, though San Diego Superior Court Judge Marian Gaston announced the defendant would likely receive probation. A year in jail is also possible.
The Deputy District Attorney, whose name, Evan Andersen, is similar to the defendant’s, said he did not sign the plea agreement, which sometimes occurs if the prosecutor doesn’t agree with the terms.
Gaston set Anderson’s sentencing for April 20 and allowed him to remain free on bond.
The incident occurred on Nov. 4, 2025. Tracy Condon, 59, was sitting on a curb at Santa Monica Avenue near Sunset Cliffs Boulevard when Anderson struck her around 5 p.m. as he went to park. She was seated next to her wheelchair.
Anderson fled, leaving his Toyota Tundra pick-up at the scene, but he returned some hours later and was arrested.
A memorial service, attended by approximately 60 people, was held on Nov. 12 for Condon at the end of Newport Avenue. She got to know a lot of people in Ocean Beach and once delivered meals to homeless residents.
“She was a good person, good spirit,” said her daughter Jesse Jax at the memorial service, which was covered by NBC 7.
“It’s important to remember that we are all human,” said Carter Moss, the pastor at Submerge Church in Ocean Beach, after the memorial. “We are all loved and worthy.”
