A Texas teenager is accused of hitting a sleeping homeless woman while driving drunk — and then trying to bribe a nearby fast-food worker to let her get away, according to police and reports.
Hunter Cameron Villasana, 17, is accused of killing the woman as she slept in the median before crashing his black Mercedes GLK 350 into a wall Friday night, Houston police said in a news release.
He was allegedly speeding erratically and hitting the road after making a turn when the fatal strike occurred, police said.
The teenager appeared in court on Monday. KHOU 11
The woman, who has not been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene around 11:30 p.m., police said.
Villasana was arrested and charged with intoxication manslaughter.
During a court appearance Monday, prosecutors said the young man tried to offer Jack in the Box employees Venmo payments if they let him go, KHOU reported, but the group instead held him until police arrived.
