Two Arrested in Tucson Street-Racing Crash That Killed 3-Year-Old, Injured Pregnant Mother

The case now centers on evidence of alleged street racing at extreme speeds.

Overview

  • Investigators say a Hyundai Genesis and a Dodge Charger were racing Friday in Tucson when the Genesis struck a Toyota Camry, splitting it in half.
  • The collision killed 3-year-old Anna, who was properly secured in a car seat, and left her nine-months-pregnant mother seriously injured, with relatives launching a GoFundMe for medical and funeral costs.
  • Police arrested 22-year-old Christian Isaiah Randall and a 16-year-old, and each faces one count of second-degree murder, two counts of endangerment, and two counts of aggravated assault.
  • Randall is held on $500,000 bond after hospital treatment, and the teen is in juvenile detention after officers located the Charger that fled.
  • Authorities list excessive speed during alleged racing as the primary cause, and the case follows recent police warnings about rising racing on the same road after a March 1 fatal crash.
