Overview
- Labeled in charges as Gabryella Liebgott, the St. Paul resident was charged Monday with two counts after the March 22 death of University of St. Thomas student Seham Hassen.
- Investigators say video from a parked Tesla showed a sedan veer toward the shoulder, strike Hassen, then return to its lane and drive off.
- Following a March 30 tip from the Washington County Sheriff’s Office, police seized a damaged sedan at a vinyl-wrap shop and collected apparent blood and fabric consistent with Hassen’s dress.
- Camera records and witness interviews placed Liebgott at a Minneapolis VFW before the crash, with friends telling police she was the only driver and that the group had been drinking.
- Liebgott was arrested April 3 and booked into the Hennepin County Jail, and court records note she faces up to 20 years in prison and a $40,000 fine if convicted.
