A mother and daughter died in a tragic accident after attending Drake's concert.
TMZ exclusively posted the graphic video of the incident where Laticha Bracero and her daughter, 21-year-old Alyssa Cordova, were killed after a speeding car hit them while walking through a crosswalk.
Drake Fans Dead After Getting Run Over by a Speeding Car
According to media outlets, the incident happened on February 14 after Drake's concert in Missouri. The car beat the red light and hit a car before running the mother and daughter over.
Two other teen girls and an adult woman also sustained injuries after the crash.
The St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department confirmed Bracero's death, while Cordova was still able to be rushed to a hospital where she was later proclaimed dead.
The alleged suspect, 22-year-old Monte Henderson, reportedly drove over 70 miles per hour at the time of the incident. He also sustained injuries and was in critical condition at the time.
The authorities arrested and charged him with two counts each of involuntary manslaughter and armed criminal action.
Meanwhile, STL Today reported Henderson's release on a $20,000 bail. Judge Annette Llewellyn allowed him to be freed, though police officer Matthew Wieczorek argued the suspect should remain in custody as he still poses a threat to the community.
Family Seeks Help
Following the tragedy, Michell L. Del Bosque created a fundraiser on GoFundMe, titled "Mother & Daughter Taken Too Soon," to help their bereaved family in the hospital and funeral expenses.
"The family is currently trying to bring them home and give them the best service possible with hopes to lay them to rest amongst other family members. The family is extremely devastated by this horrific tragedy," part of the description reads. "We appreciate the love and outpour from everyone in both the Chicago area and St. Louis. We thank everyone so much for everything."
It has already raised $32,344 from 716 donors as of press time. The creator set a goal of $100,000.
The mother and daughter reportedly traveled to St. Louis from Chicago to watch Drake.
A year ago, a similar car crash occurred downtown involving a teen volleyball player. Janae Edmondson had both legs amputated after she was pinned when a driver hit her at a high rate of speed.
