Man Who Hit South OC Woman With Camaro While Driving 100 MPH Sentenced

MISSION VIEJO, CA — A 28-year-old Mission Viejo man was sentenced to 15 years-to-life for hitting and killing a 33-year-old woman while driving his Camaro nearly 100 miles per hour in 2017, Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement.

Afiff Kevin Doaifi was convicted last month of second degree murder in the March 25, 2017, death of 33-year-old Judith Noval before being immediately taken into custody. He had previously been out of custody after posting a $1 million bond in Sept. 2018.

The crash happened just before midnight on Saturday, March 25, when Doaifi was driving his Camaro eastbound on Alicia Parkway in Mission Viejo. Witnesses said they watched him "gun his engine" from Muirlands Boulevard as he travelled up the hill of Alicia Parkway.

Noval, a resident of Mission Viejo, was turning left onto Althea Avenue from westbound on Alicia Parkway in her Hyundai Elantra when Doaifi's Camaro hit her, prosecutors said.

The event-data records in Doaifi's Camaro reported that he was driving 99 miles per hour just two and-a-half seconds before he crashed into Noval's Hyundai.

"Following the collision, Doaifi was recorded on a 911 dispatch call complaining about the damage to his Camaro," prosecutors said in a statement. "According to witnesses, he never asked about the well-being of the woman he hit."

Noval died as a result of her injuries a month after the crash.

Doaifi has past citations for speeding on five separate occasions, including a citation for driving 109 miles per hour on a freeway in Oct. 2014.

“The fact that this individual cared more about the damage to his car than the woman he just slammed into at nearly 100 miles per hour clearly shows his priorities,” Spitzer said in a statement. “This is a tragedy that could have been avoided, but Mr. Doaifi simply didn’t care about anyone or anything besides himself and his car.”
