TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) – A 21-month-old baby has died after she and her mother were hit by a car that police say was street racing Wednesday afternoon.
The baby’s mother, 24-year-old Jessica Reisinger, was killed when she was hit by the car as she crossed Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa, Fla.
Tampa police say Cameron Herrin was speeding in a Ford Mustang with his brother Tristan Herrin in the passenger seat.
Driving next to them in a Nissan was John Barrineau, 17. Witnesses say the cars were switching lanes.
At Knights Avenue, police say Herrin hit Reisinger as she was pushing her daughter, Lillia Raubenolt, in a stroller. Reisinger is from Ohio and was in Tampa visiting her uncle.
Before her death, an arrest affidavit said little Lillia was not expected to survive her injuries. She was being treated at Tampa General Hospital and was in critical condition.
Early Thursday morning, one of the three young men accused in the deadly crash bonded out of jail.
Sister station WFLA was there when Tristan Herrin was released from the Orient Road Jail. His brother, Cameron Herrin, was still in jail as of Thursday morning.
“Do you regret anything that happened yesterday? Do you have anything that you’d like to say to the victim’s families? You don’t have anything to say? Sir, do you have anything you’d like to say? Sir, anything at all?” asked WFLA Reporter Jana Jones.
Tristan Herrin refused to answer Jana’s questions and got into a car, covered his head and laid down in the back seat. A man who was with Herrin also refused to answer questions, covered his head and drove Herrin away from the jail.
Cameron Herrin, 18, was charged with vehicular homicide, unlawful racing on highway and reckless driving with serious bodily injury.
John Barrineau, 17, was charged with vehicular homicide, unlawful racing on highway and reckless driving with serious bodily injury.
Tristan Herrin, 20, was charged with unlawful racing on highway.
