and found one passenger to be severely injured but alive bystanders pulled her out of the car while it was on fire likely saving her life she would not have been able to do this on her own due to her injuries which included a broken ankle broken backbones and two broken ribs she also suffered from a deep laceration caused by the seat belt into her stomach exposing her intestines underneath her shirt the driver of that same vehicle was able to get out on his own and sustained minor injuries as officers arrive they witness the injured passenger

on the ground and recognize that civilians have stepped up to help hello thanks thanks for tending to hurt their next priority is to check on the occupants of the red vehicle the damage is plainly obvious as the red vehicle was struck with such a force that it was ripped into two pieces is everyone out think here there's one in here okay I didn't feel a p okay extinguishers too concerned about that SC still two in here got a driver and one in the back seat [Applause] I'm 451 122 or 86 we've got two trap inside

of the story put together the individuals in the red car Dalton and Taylor were struck by the white car driven by Leon Bond III with his twin sister Siana in the front passenger seat their older sister Camille Le Dennis Bond was driving alongside them in a separate and seemingly uninvolved black vehicle with her best friend in the passenger seat Lynn Lynn was the one to make the 911 call at the beginning of this video after the crash Camille stopped down the street in the middle of the road and ran towards the accident on foot according

to court testimony Camille got out of the car so fast she forgot to put the car in park but Lynn noticed and did it for her from the passenger seat officers quickly realized this may be a criminal investigation involving multiple fatalities and that extreme speeds were likely involved accordingly they quickly identify Camille as a key Person of Interest officers will eventually obtain video evidence of the crash itself to further support Camille's involvement we will go over that footage later in this video ma'am ma'am can't go over there right now we got a car on fire

it's not safe it's okay it's okay I know baby it's C it here Camille is immediately placing blame on the other driver she doesn't hesitate to use profanities towards Taylor who she incorrectly believes was driving the red car think we're going to call 1072 okay 45122 there's going to be 2 107 to officers unfortunately discover the two individuals in the red car Dalton Lee Ford and Taylor Nicole Garza have been killed in the crash the couple was 22 years old they had plans to celebrate Easter with their families that morning three people around here taking

of a crime before the day of the crash Camille held several speeding tickets in her records even though she was just 19 years old her first ticket listed she was traveling 50 m an hour in a 30 mph Zone 20 mi over the speed limit her second speeding charge was for going 58 mi in a 45 mph Zone 13 Mi over the speed limit however the ticket details that she was very argumentative with the officer in this situation the report shares that she argued she was pulled over due to her loud music and her being

black then claimed she was traveling that speed on a hill and then when the officer handed her the ticket she crumpled it up and tossed it into the passenger seat of her vehicle her third ticket was listed as duty to drive with due care speed where no specific speed data is cited more details on more of her tickets will be covered shortly we were not racing nor none of that you weren't racing at all no I told him for a simple fact for a simple fact I'm going to tell you just like this for a

simple fact we are black it is a nice day outside I know that the police are out we see the state Troop out we were not going F I said we're going to just go the speed limit up here he said okay his car his car has more more horsepower than mine does so obviously it's going to sound like it because I know how the engine sounds and I'm going to spit fact my car is slow but I was in front he knows I was in front Okay obviously I'm going to be in front because

he's going to follow my lead we were not going fast she gassed on it when I mean she gassed on it she didn't see him because he was behind me my actually my car was up there but I moved it up here because it was rolling back and it was still in Drive don't want to mess on my transmission she gassed on it to try to beat him okay so I appreciate you telling me all that type of stuff so like I said our process is this okay I please don't do that I'm already black

and it already looks bad enough has nothing to do with race man we have two people that are dead right now caused by an accident you and your brother on it that has nothing to do with me and my brother we were not we were not speeding what do you not understand you know what the speed limit is over here yes it's 55 we were going 60 okay it's not my problem that she wanted to be a dumb and try to beat us that's not my problem you placing me under arrest for something that we

surrounding his case are not readily available or public however we do know some things which includes a peak into Lyon's school history with fights one appet case reveals that Leon's mother legally went after a school official when he attempted to prevent a fight that involved Leon his two sisters ERS and another student the case accuses the school official of dislocating lon's arm while attempting to prevent the fight this case was ultimately denied by the court due to there being a lack of willful or malicious wrong in the school officials actions while Leon's case was being

determined Camille was also charged 6 months after the crash with charges surrounding her direct involvement by drag racing during that six-month period before her arrest Camille got pulled over and charged for driving on a revoked license her license was revoked due to her failing to address herat three previous speeding charges she then got another speeding ticket that listed her going 59 M an hour in a 35 mph Zone 24 Mi over the speed limit in that pullover she stated she was going downhill as the reason she was traveling so fast in October of 2021 she

was issued an arrest warrant and faced two counts of third deegree murder two counts of criminal vehicular homicide one count of criminal vehicular operation resulting in great bodily harm and one count of careless driving the warrant she was issued revealed more details surrounding the incident including a deeper look into post-event interviews and forensic research the report detailed surveillance footage that shows the intersection they started the race at witness testimony shares that the two exchanged a conversation here pertaining to whose car could accelerate faster after that alleged conversation the two cars take off well ahead of

the other vehicles surrounding them another surveillance camera captures the impact moments before you can see just how long it takes for this uninvolved vehicle to enter the right side of the frame and pass the area where the crash happens when Camille and Lyon's vehicle Zoom by moments later it takes roughly half the time a crash reconstruction report reveals data obtained by the airbag control module in Leon's vehicle the report indicated leyon and his sister Camille who was traveling alongside him were going 114 mph just 5 seconds before the crash 64 Mi over the posted 50

mph speed limit court documents also indicated Leon and Camille were over three football fields away when Dalton and Taylor started to take the turn they traveled roughly 3/4 of a mile after taking off from the intersection before crashing her and her brother's vehicle were traveling between 93 and 106 mph before Lyon's vehicle struck Dalton and Taylor the day after her arrest on October 29th 20121 Camille posted a $75,000 non-cash bond which came with conditions that notably did not exclude her driving privileges allowing her to drive despite the seriousness behind her case 2 months after her

release on bond court record s indicate she got in a car accident where she claimed another driver was at fault she issued a small claims case to the court for the other individual to pay a sum greater than $4,500 in the following year she won this court case due to the other party not showing up she was given yet another speeding ticket in May of 2022 this time she was caught going 83 M an hour in a 60 MPH Zone 23 Mi over the speed limit in this pullover the ticket sites that Camille was unaware

of the speed limit cried and explained to the officer that she had a bad experience with law enforcement before and was afraid of cops State records allegedly showed her car's registration was expired despite the stickers on her C displaying she was up to date in January of 2023 3 month shy of 2 years after the car crash news reports indicate that Camille's brother Leon pled guilty to two counts of third deegree murder he was sentenced to 25 years of prison that same month because inmates only have to serve 2third of their sentence before transferring to

probation this means he should be out of jail in 16 years and 8 months or in September of 2039 when he is 36 years old however rules apply differently for juvenile cases here is an image posted on what appears to be Leon's Facebook page posted in September of 20123 where he seems to be under house arrest he proudly holds what looks to be $1,000 in cash with a smile on his face because Leon was being tried as a juvenile he was put on probation until the age of 21 with a stayed sentence of 25 5

years in prison as long as Lon doesn't break probation by age 21 his sentence will be considered served in mid 2024 Leon turned 21 and successfully completed his probation his sentence for murdering Dalton and Taylor is considered served his sister who operated the other racing vehicle Camille Dennis Bond faced a slew of charges as an adult for her involvement making her case information more readily available through Court deliberations Camille's defense team would not only argue that she was not at fault due to her not being in the vehicle that struck Taylor and Dalton but would

go as far as to say Dalton should have yielded before the turn and even suggested Dalton was at fault for the crash in this section of the video we will cover the surprising court deliberations that brought the case to its conclusion in court several factors were brought to light through witness and expert testimonies while there are some notable instances of witnesses ascribing the scene to being horrific and the worst thing they have ever experienced some more frustrating Revelations deemed that Camille and her brother Lyon were not only Reckless with their actions but continued to be

Reckless after bystanders had told them to slow down prior to the crash Court testimony details that a bystander noticed descriptions of Camille's and Leon's Vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed past her house in a residential neighborhood this frustrated the witness as it was Easter Sunday and there were children outside this witness noticed that the pair parked down the street from her residence so she decided to walk down to the cars to tell them to slow down this witness's testimony matched the descriptions of Camille her passenger friend Lynn and the descript of the vehicles

Camille and her brother were driving after the neighbor had spoke to them directly about slowing down she claims the cars then sped past her on the road as she was walking back to her home which was an inferred attempt at retaliation this neighbor then tried calling 911 at 1028 over their Wreckless Behavior roughly 4 minutes before the crash happened unfortunately it appears the call didn't connect and the neighbor decided to let it go seeing as she only had a partial license plate to work with a couple days later when she saw a news article involving

the vehicles she claims to have recognized the plate based off the partial she had causing her to call the authorities to inform them of the racing activity she saw the pair engaged in earlier that morning if that wasn't jarring enough the prosecuting attorney also called up Lynn the passenger in Camille's car and revealed Camille and Leon's lack of remorse over the whole situation Lynn claims that she was best friends with Camille but ceased the relationship over the morality of the situation Lynn supported the neighbor's claim that Camille and Leon were not driving safe in the

neighborhood and confirmed that the neighbor had spoken to both Camille and leyon she also shared that in the moments before the pair sped off at the intersection Camille and Leon exchanged a conversation through their car windows over who could accelerate faster Camille in past interrogations claimed that this was true though she informed her brother not to go faster than 55 M an hour so that they wouldn't be pulled over Lynn's testimony contradicted that claim citing the pair never talked about speed limits during her testimony Lynn admitted she was scared during her 911 call because she

had realized the car Camille was driving could have just as easily impacted Dalton and Taylor's vehicle she shared that Camille was largely concerned about the damage to the car and the condition of her siblings but that nobody went to the red car and that Camille was unremorseful Lynn also detailed that at a time after the crash during a birthday party Camille and Lon among other family members held a conversation blaming the red car for the accident despite their excessive speeds she further shares that the bond family seemed to only care about their own family being

injured and held no empathy or sadness for Dalton or Taylor's passing Lynn also cited that she stopped being friends with Camille after the birthday party because she felt sad traumatized and remorseful while Camille felt differently other Witnesses appeared on the stand to share their opinions of Camille and Lyon's driving one witness shared they told others after witnessing their speeds that they're going to kill somebody moments before the crash other Witnesses added more claims to Camille's words on scene including theing better be dead or I'll find her and kill her and you stupid dumbass white others

sharing in all the years I've been driving I've never seen anybody seen two cars drive like that before and that Witnesses found it jarring Camille didn't attempt to help her injured sister but was able to maintain threatening two fatal crash victims the defenses argument that Dalton and Taylor's vehicle should have yielded brought frustrations to Witnesses taking the stand one individual having what appears to be a heated back and forth over the perceived Ridiculousness of his argument One professional opinion on the stand debunked the defense's right of-way argument citing that statutorily the right of-way vehicle loses

that claim if they are speeding and in this case the vehicles were estimated to be traveling over twice the speed limit that same professional opinion cited data that showed if the two vehicles were not drag racing and were traveling the speed limit Dalton and Taylor would have easily cleared the intersection without contact a jury Court would unanimously convict her on all of her charges in closing statements prior to determining Camille's sentencing countless contributions from the community shared how the case and particularly the loss of Dalton and Taylor impacted their lives Taylor's father shared that he'll

never forget the scream his wife Taylor's mother leted out the day two police officers came to their home to inform them of their daughter's death he shares that the sound still haunts him to that day Dalton's older brother Dylan a pastor shared that if Camille's family remained blind to her guilt that she would remain guilty on the day of her judgment and God would strike her down for the murderer that she is Friends of the family shared frustrations with Lyon's light sentence sharing that they hated the court system for giving him such an easy break

they also shared that rules do not apply to Camille and that she will kill again they referenced Camille's lack of remorse pointing out that Camille turned to her mom laughing and playing on her phone like it was any other day during breaks in court testimony documents revealed that the victim's family had just held a funeral the day prior for Dalton's grandfather one cousin noted that the last photo they all took together as a family was that day Veronica Dalton's mom pointed out frustration with Camille's lack of remorse and her continued speeding infractions after the fact

Dalton's Father Jim highlighted Camille and Leon's previous School fights along with their alleged fist fight that broke out when they got in an accident with another driver he also cited her claims of racial prejudice against her to be nothing of the sort when it came to Dalton and Taylor sharing the pair had gone to Minneapolis in support of George Floyd that Taylor had continually engaged in Native American culture and reservation programs and that his son Dalton was involved in a mostly Mong and Hispanic car club he also highlights an alleged social media conversation Camille had

where she mentioned going drag racing again only 45 days after the crash Jim also cited numerous individuals who shared stories of Dalton's acceptance and openness to other people he also mentioned that shortly after the incident he and Veronica had discussed a hypothetical scenario their scenario involved Camille and Leon's mom Crystal coming to their house apologizing and begging for forgiveness in this case Jim claims Veronica would have gave her a hug invited her into the house for coffee and discussed the nightmare as mothers one to another they purposefully told the court to keep Communications open between

them and all individuals involved in case this scenario came to a reality a year after the incident once Jim and Veronica saw their hypothetical scenario would never come to existence they closed communication through the court system in contrast when Camille and Leon's mother Crystal took the stand she denounced the notion that her children should be called murderers citing a Webster's Dictionary definition that mentioned meditation even though they were being tried for third degree murder she also claimed she feared Camille was going to become the next George Floyd and said Veronica had quote verbally assaulted her

for calling her a bad mother a year after the incident when it came time for sentencing The Judge first cited his reasoning he shared that in my 40 years of being involved in the legal business in various aspects I've never been involved in a case that's affected and impacted so many different people in so many different ways he also pointed out frustrations that Leon was tried as a juvenile and wouldn't spend a day in prison as long as he abides by his probation conditions before sharing the sentencing he told Cal directly I think you're in

deep denial about what exactly your role played in this event for her third deegree murder charges she was sentenced with 150 months for one and 180 months for the other which would be served concurrently with her sentence for criminal vehicular operation resulting in serious bodily harm which amounted to 38 months for the rest of her convictions a sentence was not not pronounced because all of her sentences run concurrently with each other her total sentence is 180 months or 15 years in Minesota inmates must serve 2third of their total sentence making her eligible for probation after

10 years she was also permitted 107 days of jail credit her court fees were waved but she was ordered to pay Dalton's mother nearly $30,000 in restitution which would be deducted from prison wages and from pay she obtains while on probation using this information having been sent sentenced in March of 2023 she will likely get out of prison at the tail end of the year in 2032 when she is 30 years old after her sentencing Camille submitted her case into the court of appeals to be retried her appet case was effectively denied by the courts

sealing her sentence while the records we obtained from the state pertained directly from Camille's involvement in the case we were able to secure an interview with Dalton's mom Veronica to get more details surrounding lon's case and exactly how and why he was let off the hook so easily after being convicted Ed for double murder through those transcripts and through the body cam footage it's it's wild to me that this case was not taken as seriously as it seems like it should have been you know we don't wish a family to go through this I mean

in the beginning we just sat back sat back I mean we trusted we trusted those that we felt were looking out for Dalton and Taylor's best interest the further we got along on the process the more holes I kept finding attitudes amount of of remorse account ability if that would have come into play We would understand we'd be better but because it didn't and because these the way the laws are set up right now that these children are protected a double murder charge in the Dakota County they'd never had one before we were going to

be the first juvenile case to go to trial because Leon was innocent Camille was innocent Dalton pulled out in front of them I mean you've read the transcripts he turned 21 at that time he's free and clear it's like it never happened I bet you I did 75 open records requests I fought hard and not so much on Camille's situation I mean you know because hers was adult it was it was fighting the juvenile side strangely enough they they did make for changes to their juvenile certification process the juvenile side you know they say that

this case will haunt them for the rest of their lives you know that Leon was not certified as an adult I found out there are 87 counties in Minnesota there are 87 ways to certify a juvenal county by county not even Washington Dakota Scott Carver none of them go through the certification process for a juvenile the same way the county that handled this case Dakota County certifies juveniles through a psychological and criminal record report which then goes through an evaluation process involving multiple parties to qualify for certification the accused must be 14 years old and

in this case Lyon was 17 and 9 months old at the time of the crash secondly the crime needs to be a felony and this case certainly qualifies as one of the worst felony charges a person can obtain and Leon got two of them in most cases where a juvenile who is 16 or older is being tried for particularly violent offenses like this case there is a presumption of certification which means the juvenile is assumed to be tried as an adult that is unless they can specifically prove they would be rehabilitated through the juvenile system

this process for proof of Rehabilitation in this case required a parole officer to or organiz a report referred to as a certification study additionally a psychologist conducts a psychological evaluation this report often includes the seriousness of the crime indications of mental health issues their prior record and their likelihood of Rehabilitation in the juvenile system these reports are then reviewed by the extended juvenile jurisdiction panel or the ejj panel for short in this case the seven-person panel then votes on if the accused should be tried as an adult or not in Leon's case Veronica made a

startling Discovery through her own investigations Leon was on probation at the time that he murdered Dalton and Taylor his probation officer was the intake probation officer for the certification process Leon was already on probation at the time of the crash reports indicate this was likely due to his violent behavior in high school what made this a troubling situation was the extended history the probation officer had with Leon these prior efforts to push for rehabilitation could influence the probation officer to unjustly suggest a favorable outcome for Lon due to their personal attachment to the case unfortunately

it seems that's exactly what happened his current probation officer was the one that supplied all the information to the seven panel ejj members and she left out all of his high school history she only went up till 8th grade and that of course influenced that panel correct additionally news reports indicate that the same probation officer was also one of the seven members on the ejj panel to vote for or against Leon's adult certification and it was a 4 to3 vote Harrison four said juvenile three said adult in this case that probation officer was one of

the votes to not certify Leon as an adult so one vote with him being 80 days shy of 18 with a A History you know on probation for the third time two of them being assault charges we just said that's a conflict of interest and then they would come back and say well but the current PO is going to have the most history with that juvenile okay but then that probation officer needs to give everybody the same information the state frenic psychologist had everything had all of his history from all the way through High School

the seven member panel did not so one of the changes that we that was made was all reports given have to be the same you cannot pick and choose what members see what the other one the intake parole officer cannot be the juvenile's current probation officer right the Third change was with restitution the Corrections Department determined the amount of restitution I had provided documentation showing because Dalton 22 didn't have life insurance student loans had a car payment restitution was approved upon at $29,000 and some change was whatever I submitted well we got the documentation from

the juvenile side and it said well lyanna is only responsible to pay 8500 and I went why it's 29,000 and some change they're both equally guilty I would have thought it just would have been split in half Dakota County Juvenile Corrections set their own dollar amount most counties would leave it up to the judge he's been out Camille's in jail you know she doesn't have as good of an opportunity to pay this restitution as Leon does well they did change that now it's no longer up to juvenile Corrections it is up to the judge they

got rid of the cap they in essence had a cap of 8,500 the state frenic psychologist came back and said yes adult there is not enough time to re rehabilitate him there is not he he for the the severity of the crime he cannot be rehabilitated or she didn't think she submitted her report the day before the ejj panel did the ejj panel knew that the state frenic psychologist had recommended adult they never reconvened they never got into a room never came together and said let's look at this now two people lost their lives this

isn't a vandalism two people were murdered Harrison Dakota County Corrections does not like me does not and I don't care but um they came back to me time and time again I have it in writing they were only required to do a summary and I said Dalton and Taylor deserved more than a summary they lost their lives you people need to fight for them and to make changes so that is another change that Dakota County did make once they've pulled together the state Fric psycho they they reconvene as a team to discuss the results and

why they came up with they with what they did now again I don't know how I follow that I don't know how I track it you know I they put it on a piece P of paper and they said these are our new policies I did ask them also why they don't post that on their website they said they're not required well you know maybe if they would have done some of the stuff they wouldn't have had a me you know where I was a thorn in their side for months judge Carter I mean this

was like the last thing he stamped on and he retired and I get it even if the ejj panel would have said adult and the state Fric psychologist said adult Carter could have said juvenile at the end of the day it is up to him but you know how could he have gone against two he did not take into consideration anything that that state frenic psychologist did he honestly we think Harrison he made his decision before he even got all all the details that's how we feel what other changes are you hoping that the state

will be making he did go down and spend nine months in Redwing well eight eight months Redwing is the juvenile correctional facility that leyon was admitted to for rehabilitation I ended up getting a hold of red too and I I said I want to know what type of a program you have in Redwing to process or or rehabilitate a juvenile versus somebody that's down there for theft or you know anything that you would end up at Redwing for and that is the only facility in the state of Minnesota for these juveniles that commit these higher

crimes that if they were an adult it would be a you know a prison sentence well we we we really don't have a different program and I said so you're telling me Leon is down there getting the same classes as somebody is down there for theft they don't have any extra programs that they provided to Leon the same counseling everything when I had gotten a hold of jsd and Hastings I said what does Leon's day-to-day look like you know he was taking CL he finally did get his his diploma so because he was a super

senior he hadn't graduated yet but he was getting um religious classes he was taking yoga classes and sitting here thinking he murdered two people he's over here in the Hastings G jsd he's getting yoga I mean there has to be something above and beyond juveniles are given a slap on the hand just because they're under the age of 18 that shouldn't give them a get out of jail free card and in essence it does if there is a a situation where they can be rehabilitated that's that's needs to be done but each case needs to

look be looked at and when you're talking the of two people you it can't be the same when we met with Keith he he agreed he says no harder programs need to be given longer probation you know he said Veronica once this once this law gets passed we're going to name it the Dalton Taylor law 18 that can't be this magic number he's an adult I get it at the time he was 80 days shy being 18 he was arrested that day but then he was let go now in Wisconsin which of course is where

we live just across the river 17 you're automatically in adult now Minnesota is actually trying to raise it to 21 wow there were bills that went in this last time that none of them went through but the authors were one was Bobby Joe Champion Camille's attorney that said you know the age needs to be raised to 21 the brain fully doesn't develop until you're 25 then keep them in probation until they're 25 don't let them off when they're 21 you know extend it yep get it but make them accountable you know and and going the

opposite direction of what what we're fighting for and I emailed those um editors of those laws not one of them got back in touch with me Leon murdered two people and got basically 25 months how can somebody that drives that recklessly end up getting the sentencing that he did Taylor was like a daughter to us so we lost two and it's something that they're worth fighting for somebody was going to die somebody was going to die that morning on that road by their hands you know the last time we had court with was right before

his birthday and the level of of entitlement from that family you know I was standing right there that could have given him an opportunity to say something to me her an opportunity and they just now I I had some words with them as well and they they weren't pleasant but they were words that I had been wanting to say to them for quite some time and Tiana the twin sister looks looks right at Crystal the mom and said Mom she's nothing don't worry about it she's nothing and this is the twin sister they almost killed

and I just you know at that time it was like yep you guys took two beautiful innocent lives and you could care less if they would have taken ownership Fallen to their knees that day and apologized and said Yep this is what we were doing I mean we'd be in a better place honestly not even sure if they would have done that they might not have even seen a day in jail I believe at this time we can turn a page and and not expect to hear anything I hope and pray that Camille gets rehabilitated

the bond family I mean those children have a history of anger even in high school we had heard about it I'm hoping and praying she can come out and and be a better person and take the fact that she killed two people she was found guilty but she she can still live her life Veronica also took the time to speak about those who have helped her through the process Arison the Burnsville Police Department are nothing short of amazing they worked so hard on this case and they hand delivered the packet to the Dakota County Attorney's

Office it meant a lot we had to have Dalton and Taylor's service at the high school over in the corner out of my peripheral vision you know I saw four officers they came to Dalton and Taylor service and they just said that they needed to see them in a different light these are four complete strangers they were First Responders so they were there and that meant the world to us you know it just goes to show you what kind of people one of the EMTs I mean he broke down on the stand he started to

cry I mean you know and young and he just you the the tragedy of it all he this is a very tough case it's a tough case it's okay I know I'm with you I'm sorry okay I'm okay but um yeah so you know they're worth they're worth fighting for absolutely there's a foundation called street racing kills out of California there had been an article out there I've been in touch with her Dalton and Taylor are now on that website she did reach out to me and asked if I would be the overseer of Street

Racing kills up in this area and I told her I'd be more than happy to just try to fight this because since Dalton and Taylor there's been a lot more um unfortunately that have lost their lives to just stupid recklessness when you are of a sober mind you know not under any influence and you make decisions like this something's got to change there's got to be some some legit awareness made out there that if you do this this is what's going to happen if there was a place that we could donate to or ask our

viewers to donate to as well would that be an organization you want to donate to or do you have a different one in mind that's the one okay y but yeah street racing kills it is nonprofit so yeah any donations if anybody would want to do that that would be absolutely fabulous Taylor had um she was very active with the lock to flambo the reservation y yeah that would be another one is is the lock to flambo because she was okay she was very passionate about that so when you when you take two innocent lives

it shouldn't be too hard to get Justice it's just been a fight you know just and that's what I hope to uh that this video helps I mean the more awareness around cases like this the more hopefully there's a push for changes that to the law so that something like this doesn't happen again it's got to I don't have any patience for aggressive drivers anymore Veronica here shared that she had witnessed an aggressive driver on the road and called the police with license plate information she then detailed that phone call I said I would like

a presca just to go talk to her so I had told the dispatcher that Leon had been pulled over he had gotten warning you know and and been let go and sometimes it's just one person one person that can go and have a conversation enough to to have them think twice about what they're doing and you know of course then she's like I'm so sorry for your loss well then of course I start balling I'm crying to a complete stranger on the phone um but it's maybe if somebody would have talked to Leon you know

and just said you know if you keep driving the way you're driving you know there's going to be consequences and maybe dalon and Taylor would still be here so I mean we can what off you know what if ourselves forever for the rest of our lives any kind of awareness we can bring to this Harrison um you know like I said I'm not done I'm going to Rattle cages until I you know my last breath I don't know if you have children but um you know your children teach you things I was very grateful to

be his mom you know for for 22 years I would have loved to have had him for another 66 but that was taken from us and another family can't go through what we went through
