Now.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
I'm Jennifer Gould. A bubbly thirteen year old girl, fresh
off the school bus, stepped onto a quiet Jacksonville, Florida sidewalk,
only for a huge truck to barrel off the road
like a freight train, smashing her into oblivion and leaving
her body crumpled in a drainage ditch to gasp her

(00:26):
last breath alone in the dark. That gut wrenching horror
became reality for Genesis Webber. Genesis's grieving mom, Chard Weber,
spoke at a news conference.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
She can't speak for herself, Okay, I have to. I
can't just let this go by because I have to
hit justice for her. I'm not gonna be at peace
if I don't.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
The vibrant seventh grader walking home along the seven hundred
block of North Arlington Road was struck with merciless force
between seven fifteen and nine to fifteen PM by a
truck that veered onto the curb. The impact flung Genesis
into a chain link fence before she tumbled into the culvert,

(01:12):
where she was later found unresponsive and pronounced dead at
the scene by the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office. The driver, fifty
four year old Andre William Myers, did not stop. He
did not call nine one one, nor did he render aid. Instead,
the repeat offender fled like a coward, abandoning the scene.

(01:35):
Myers was ironically wearing an ankle monitor to enforce bond
conditions for felony charges stemming from an aggravated assault case
where he threatened a man with his car just months earlier.
That court appearance had taken place the very morning of
the fatal crash. He had pleaded guilty and scored a

(01:55):
sweetheart deal withheld adjudication two years per and anger management classes.
The ankle monitor became his undoing JSO detectives using surveillance footage,
crash debris, and real time tracking from the monitoring device,
quickly pinpointed myers activity. Officers then located Myers, finding him

(02:19):
asleep inside his truck. Chardat had a message for him.

Karma's real Andy God, don't like ugly.

charge of leaving the scene of a crash involving death
without providing aid, a first degree felony carrying up to
thirty years if convicted. His rap sheet also includes multiple
driving while license suspended convictions from twenty fifteen through twenty eighteen.

crime and justice news After this, the final suffocating moments
of Mazie Simmons's life were spent trapped not by a stranger,
but by the relentless press of his mother's car window.
His cries muffled as she lay unconscious just feet away.

(03:30):
This catastrophic act of neglect has resulted in Candace Grace
thirty two, being charged with second degree murder in the
death of her seven year old son in Atlanta, Georgia.
This neighbor spoke to Fox five.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
As a mom my kids wouldn't be in there. Predicament AI,
it's devastating heart broke in for at Sevy Oh to
life Disbee's taken.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
The harrowing incident came to light when a witness spotted
Mazie's head hanging limply from the rear passenger window of
the park SUV. Frantic efforts to rouse the mom, who
was deeply passed out in the front seat, proved difficult.
Police were called, and Maisie was rushed to Children's Healthcare
of Atlanta, but was pronounced dead on arrival, the victim

(04:14):
of asphyxiation. Investigators immediately noted Grace's erratic behavior, observing that
she was repeatedly passing out, even while cradling her youngest child.
A subsequent warrant was issued for toxicology testing, which months
later returned the damning results. Grace's system was saturated with

(04:36):
opioids and THC. The findings confirmed the horrifying suspicion that
the mom was high on drugs, leaving her incapable of
supervising her three young kids. The probable cause affidavit revealed
that the night before, after ten pm, Grace had visited
a neighbor, but left Mazie, his four year old sister,
and two year old brother unattended inside the car. She

(05:00):
later returned to the driver's seat and blacked out, creating
that window of opportunity for the tragic accident. The Fulton
County Medical Examiner ruled Mazie's death accidental strangulation, but the
Atlanta Police Department filed the murder charges on September twenty ninth.
The warr in states the tragic outcome was directly caused

(05:20):
by Grace's drug impaired state, emphasizing that her inability to
actively monitor the kids allowed Mazie to become faithfully entrapped.
Grace is currently held without bond in Fulton County Jail
and finally talk about to protect and serve. One hungry
customer in Texas got a shocking side dish when his

Uber Eats order showed up delivered by a cop. Harris
County Constable Deputy Choppa jumped into action after arresting the
original driver, Ronaldo Correo forty seven. Coreo was pulled over
for rolling with a fictitious license plate, proving he did
definitely was not driving by the book. Cops quickly slapped

(06:03):
the cuffs on Coreo, booking him for tampering with a
government record, but the drama did not end there. To
avoid a angry disaster, the deputy personally completed the delivery.
Carreo may have been focused on the fake plate, but
the deputy proved his service was one hundred percent real.
