A man “being verbally and physically aggressive” at a party was doing “burnouts” in his car when officers arrived to stop him, according to Oklahoma police.
The 19-year-old sped past police in his automobile at 10:30 p.m. on November 30, turning into an adjacent road while cops pursued him, according to Oklahoma City police.
Larnell Morgan sped down the road and collided with the rear of a 46-year-old woman’s car, according to authorities. Her vehicle spun erratically before colliding with a pole.
Patricia Marse was flung from the automobile and seriously injured, according to authorities. She was brought to the hospital and died.
“She had a difficult life and did everything she could to better herself for her children and husband,” her family stated in a GoFundMe campaign. “We all were so proud of the person she was becoming, and this devastating loss has left a hole in our hearts.”
Morgan was apprehended and accused of homicide, DUI, and endangering others while fleeing police.
According to jail records, he is being held at the Oklahoma County Jail without bond.
