A man serving a hit-and-run sentence in a California prison until his release earlier this year remains jailed pending charges after a crash in Minneapolis that killed five young women.
June 20, 2023, 4:55 PMThis booking photo provided by the Hennepin County, Minn., Sheriffs Office shows Derrick Thompson. Thompson was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on Monday, June 19, 2023, in the aftermath of a crash on Friday, June 16, that killed five young women in Minneapolis after the speeding driver blew past a state trooper, ran a red light and slammed into their car.
Thousands of mourners from the area’s large Somali American community attended the young women’s funeral Monday at the Dar Al-Farooq mosque in Bloomington, where the five had been active members. They were returning home from a Somali mall where they had henna applied in preparation for a friend’s wedding scheduled for the next day when their car was struck.
“Our community is grieving the loss of the five bright young people whose lives were cut short in a senseless, selfish act of reckless driving,” Moriarity said in a statement. “Instead of celebrating a joyous wedding, these families were forced to plan funerals and deal with the devastation of this tragedy.”
