On the evening of Tuesday, September 15, 2015, Mariana Hernandez-Gonzales, 30, was killed as an innocent bystander in a violent rolling gunfight in the Northeast area of Kansas City, Missouri. She was a passenger in a Chevrolet Tahoe near Ninth Street and Hardesty Avenue when a stolen Chrysler 300 involved in the shootout ran a red light and struck the SUV about 9:00 p.m. The Tahoe rolled onto its side and ejected Mariana, who suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Also in the Tahoe were her boyfriend, who was driving, and six children aged 18 months to 10 years; they suffered various injuries but none were life-threatening. Witnesses reported the Chrysler’s occupants fled the crash by jumping into another vehicle. Police say the Chrysler’s driver was 26-year-old Deanna L. Holleran of Newton, Missouri, who reportedly admitted she accelerated with her eyes closed to escape gunfire. Holleran was charged with second-degree murder, tampering with a motor vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident, and multiple counts of assault in connection with Mariana’s death and the family’s injuries.

Does anyone have further information about the victims, witnesses, or the chain of events that night?
