Right-wing media is going to have a field day with this story. [View all]

Quick summary: Two women were riding a jet ski dangerously and hit an 18-year-old woman in a kayak who died. One woman stayed at the scene while the other woman fled from the scene with a man and were involved in a collision leaving the scene. The couple were caught with full suitcases--both were undocumented immigrants from Venezuela. Meanwhile, the woman that died was preparing to enter the Air Force Academy.

Grapevine Lake jet ski hit-and-run: Suspects had suitcase packed at time of arrest

The backstory:
Investigators said two women were riding a jet ski near Oak Grove Park on Grapevine Lake the evening of May 25 when they crashed into a kayaker.

The victim, later identified as 18-year-old Ava Moore, suffered severe head trauma. She was pulled to shore by bystanders, then taken to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

Authorities said the jet ski’s passenger stayed at the scene and spoke with first responders, while the jet ski driver got into a vehicle with a man. That vehicle crashed into two vehicles as they left the area.

The jet ski driver has since been identified as 21-year-old Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez-Gonzalez. The man she left the scene with, 21-year-old Maikel Coello Perozo, has also been arrested. Their relationship is being investigated.
