Makayla Hankins, 21, was killed when a driver who had reportedly led police on a pursuit during a joyride struck her car on Sept. 26.
Nineteen-year-old Luis Leyba-Gonzalez left the courtroom with his attorney and family members by his side. Leyba-Gonzalez offered no comment on the three counts of resisting law enforcement resulting in death that he faces as the alleged driver in a two-car crash at 10th Street and Mitthoeffer Road on Sept. 26.
Police say the Challenger crashed into a Toyota just a few minutes later, just before 10 p.m. Makayla Hankins, 21, a newlywed and mother, was driving the other car and was also killed. "I'm angry because she didn't need to lose her life like that, for somebody to be out there joyriding,” said Rosie Tillman, who worked with Hankins at the Walmart on East Washington Street.“ was a shining star,” said Walmart associate Wendy Martin. “She was from day one when she walked in this store and came on the front end. It's a spark about her.”
Stephanie Watson had buttons made with Hankins’ photo on them that many associates are now wearing as they work to remember Hankins."Right now it’s sad, because every time I walk in here I’m not going to see her,” said Watson. “I’m trying to deal with it. I get emotional thinking about it. I know she's not going to come back but it’s been sad around here."
