Plea deal for 1 of 2 sisters charged in hit-and-run death of Twin Cities scooter rider

Victoria Nevada Yorahee, 26, pleaded guilty to criminal vehicular homicide in the hit-and-run death of Andre Zedrick Steward, 52, in Minneapolis on July 29. Steward was riding a motorized scooter when he was struck, suffering critical injuries that led to his death days later. Under the plea agreement, Yorahee faces a sentence of slightly more than 3½ years, with nearly two years likely to be served in prison. Her sister, Tianna Renee Yorahee, 19, is charged with aiding an offender and remains a fugitive over eight months after the incident. Investigators used witness accounts and surveillance footage to piece together the events, revealing that Victoria was driving at speeds between 78 and 83 miles per hour.

After the crash, she and her sister fled the scene, discarding liquor bottles and removing the SUV's license plate. The Yorahee sisters reportedly sought help from a witness in Las Vegas, where they were last tracked. This case underscores the serious consequences of reckless driving and the legal repercussions of fleeing the scene of an accident.
