Charge dismissed against woman in Minneapolis crash that killed man on scooter

Tianna Yorahee, 19, had charges dismissed in a Minneapolis hit-and-run case that resulted in the death of Andre Zedrick Steward, 52, on July 29, 2024. Her sister, Victoria Nevada Yorahee, 26, pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular homicide, receiving a sentence of slightly more than 3½ years. Witnesses reported that all three occupants of the SUV fled the scene after the accident, with Victoria removing the vehicle's license plate. Steward, who was severely injured, died days later in the hospital. Data indicated that Victoria was driving at speeds of 78 to 83 miles per hour at the time of impact.

Tianna’s involvement was deemed minimal by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, suggesting a lesser degree of culpability. This incident underscores the ongoing issues of reckless driving and public safety on city streets. Authorities continue to address the implications of hit-and-run incidents on community safety and legal accountability.
