A 33-year-old father died after a hit-and-run crash in South Gate, and his long-time girlfriend has been unable to lay him to rest because they were not married. 💔
The couple is originally from Colombia and since they're not legally married, she says it's been nearly impossible to not only to get information about what happened that night, but also to get his body back from the hospital morgue. https://t.co/yRYMspfaeX
NEW: The 15-year-old Missouri girl who was beaten unconscious has severe brain damage and a skull fracture.
Kaylee was left convulsing after she got her head beaten on the pavement outside of Hazelwood East High School.
Kaylee has not woken up yet and has swelling, major brain bleeding, frontal lobe damage and a fractured skull.
“Kaylee is fighting hard to stay alive and heal but this is only the beginning of a very uphill battle for Kaylee and her family. We will not know the extinct of the brain damage that has occurred until she wakes,” the family said in a GoFundMe post.
Attorney General Andrew Bailey is calling on the 15-year-old girl who beat Kaylee to be tried as an adult.
“This evil and complete disregard for human life has no place in Missouri, or anywhere. I am praying for the victim.”
