WCNC is reporting this female by the name of Colanda Hood ran a red light in Charlotte and killed a running na- a running, a runner by the name of Lance Sotelo.
New tonight, the woman charged with hitting and killing this local runner will spend time in jail after pleading guilty to this crime today.
That, that was 25-year-old Lance Sotelo, who was killed in a hit and run in East Charlotte in January.
Today, Qualondria Hood pleaded guilty and then learned her fate.
WCNC Charlotte's anchor Autumn Brazee joining us live from outside the Mecklenburg County, uh, courthouse with details.
That's right, Colin.
As you can imagine, it was a very emotional day for Lance Sotelo's family and friends.
Many of them were in attendance today, showing their support.
His mother took the stand several hours ago, and she shared that all she wanted was accountability for the woman that took her son's life tragically in that hit and run.
It was a tale of two different stories inside the Mecklenburg County Courthouse Tuesday, as both Lance Sotelo and Qualondria Hood's loved ones waited to learn her fate.
Lance's mother, Jean, says grief has filled her days since her son lost his life on January 14th.
My son is dead.
A part of me that brought him to this world is gone.
A part of my husband is gone.
Hood pleaded guilty to felony hit and run and misdemeanor death by vehicle.
She read a letter to Sotelo's family asking for forgiveness and taking responsibility for her actions.
She now will serve 30 days in the Mecklenburg County Jail, followed by 36 months of supervised probation.
It wasn't intentional.
It was a accident that happened.
I am appreciative of the DEA and the judge for giving Qualondria a second chance to just make things right.
