The 19-year-old son of a millionaire Beverly Hills real estate developer who killed a woman while driving 100 miles per hour in his Lamborghini is pictured for the first time since his father agreed to pay more than $18 million to the victim's family .
Brandon Khuri, son of real estate mogul James Khuri, was racing the $300,000 Urus given to him on his 16th birthday in a 55-mph zone on a West Los Angeles freeway when he crashed in a Lexus driven by nurse manager Monique Muñoz, 32, in February 2021.
The now 19-year-old, who was released without prison time, was pictured for the first time since his family settled the lawsuit for $18.8 million – one of the largest amounts for a single plaintiff in a wrongful death case in California history.
In exclusive photos obtained by Dailymail.com, Khuri was seen wearing a Mario Kart t-shirt as he stepped out in North Hollywood on Tuesday.
His graphic T-shirt features the famous video game character known for his reckless driving in the game, where players deliberately try to beat opponents.

Khuri was also seen sitting in the passenger seat of a car with his mother, grinning at the camera as he let his mother drive him to get a haircut.

The teenager appeared to show no remorse after being sentenced to just seven months in a youth camp following the crash.
Khuri's father was condemned as one of America's most irresponsible fathers after his son slaughtered Muñoz.
His murderous son escaped with a slap on the wrist after being sentenced to just seven to nine months in a youth camp, and four months probation after the horrific crash in his father's Lamborghini before his 16th birthday purchased.
Brandon Khuri seemed unconcerned when he was spotted running errands with his mother in LA on Tuesday. Khuri was seen sitting in the passenger seat of a car with his mother, grinning at the camera as he let his mother drive him to get a haircut.
She waited outside for an hour while he got his haircut. He smiled as he looked out the window from the passenger seat as they left the room.
His father, James Khuri, who has kept a low profile since the crash, was also spotted the same day.
He wore a back brace as he picked up packages for his Beverly Hills Post Office home, which is reportedly worth more than $9 million.
The now 19-year-old, who was released without prison time, was photographed Tuesday for the first time since his family agreed to a historic settlement, settling for as much as $18.8 million.

The settlement was announced in April 2022.
“Today marks an important milestone as the Muñoz family can finally bring closure to this horrific tragedy,” attorney Daniel Ghyczy said in a statement Wednesday, NBC Los Angeles reported at the time.
He continued, “It was never about money for the Muñoz family, it was about recognizing Brendan Khuri's misconduct that resulted in the death of their only daughter and ensuring he was held accountable.
“Today's settlement is a testament to their efforts and is one step closer to justice.”
He continued, “The family faced numerous obstacles from both private insurance companies and the LA District Attorney's office, and experienced the harsh reality of racism and prejudice against people from underserved communities.”
Munoz, who was driving home from her job as a nurse manager at UCLA Health in Los Angeles, was trapped in the wreckage after the crash and died at the scene, LA police said. She had prepared for law school.
New video of the fatal crash was also released on Wednesday, showing Khuri running a red light in his Lamborghini SUV before his vehicle crashed into Muñoz's vehicle, killing her.

In April, Khuri pleaded guilty to manslaughter by gross negligence at the Inglewood Juvenile Court.
Prosecutors were outraged when his defense argued that he should serve most of his sentence on probation at his family's mansion.
Khuri's attorney, Mark Werksman, said the teen was diagnosed with autism and attention deficit disorder after the crash, claiming he suffered a brain injury, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Psychologist Karen Schiltz, testifying in Los Angeles County Superior Court, said Khuri likely suffered from autism all his life but was never diagnosed and that he would be “victimized” if he were held in an LA County youth camp .
Munoz's family believed Khuri's sentence was too lenient.
Protests were held over the case in August. Munoz's uncle, Richard Cartier, had called on the court to deny house arrest for the teen.
“I'm looking for this kid to actually get what he deserves,” Muñoz's uncle Richard Cartier told ABC7.
“He killed my niece and he had no regrets about any life, and he showed it.
The distraught family believes the teenager is receiving special treatment because of his father's wealth.

Weeks before the fatal crash, the teen had posted on social media about his racing and drifting activities in his luxury car, which retails for at least $218,000.
LA police officials said the teen had been busted twice for speeding and even had his driver's license revoked for his antics in the Lamborghini.
Munoz's stepfather, Isaac Cordona, 55, of Hawthorne, California, spoke about his heartbreak in an interview with DailyMail.com in a 2021 interview.
His wife, Monique's mother Carol, 54, was too upset to speak to DailyMail.com but opened up about her heartbreak in a Facebook post on February 18.
She wrote: 'My darling, my life, my everything, my heart is broken into so many pieces, mommy is going to miss you so much.
