'Queremos justicia': Familia de niña de 2 años que murió atropellada en Woodland exige respuestas

HOW OLD IS THE TODDLER? CATALINA. YEAH. BRITTANY. HER NAME IS ALAINA. SHE WAS TWO YEARS, TWO YEARS OLD, AND WAS JUST A MONTH AWAY FROM HER THIRD BIRTHDAY. HER PARENTS ARE JUST HEARTBROKEN RIGHT NOW. WE SPOKE TO THEM ABOUT A COUPLE OF MINUTES AGO, AND THEY’RE OUT HERE RIGHT NOW HONORING HER LIFE. YOU CAN SEE FAMILY AND FRIENDS HAVE GATHERED AT THIS VIGIL HERE WHERE IT HAPPENED. THEY TOLD US THEY WITNESSED IT WHEN IT HAPPENED, THEY WERE SETTING UP THEIR TACO STAND FOR THE NIGHT WHEN THEY SAW A TRUCK MOVING BACKWARDS AND HIT THEIR DAUGHTER. THEY RECALL IMMEDIATELY TAKING HER TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE WE KNOW SHE LATER DIED. WOODLAND POLICE TELLS US THIS HAPPENED AT AROUND 3:45 P.M. HERE ON WEST STREET. THEY LOCATED A BLACK DODGE ON SCENE WITH A THREE YEAR OLD INSIDE ALONE. LATER, THEY FOUND A MAN CLOSE TO THE SCENE THAT WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS TRUCK, WHICH WAS LATER DETERMINED WAS THE ONE THAT HIT THE TODDLER. AND THE PARENTS TELL US RIGHT NOW THEY ARE HEARTBROKEN. THEY’RE GRIEVING. AND THIS IS HOW THEY DESCRIBED THEIR TWO YEAR OLD DAUGHTER TO US, ALLEGRA MILLER. SHE DESCRIBES HER DAUGHTER AS A HAPPY CHILD WHO LOVED TO DANCE AND WAS THE FAMILY’S HAPPINESS GO FOR. HE HOPES PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT HE WANTS JUSTICE SINCE HE HAS JUST LOST HIS DAUGHTER. I, IOLANI, WAS THE YOUNGEST OF THEIR THREE CHILDREN AND RIGHT NOW THEY SAY THEY JUST DON’T HAVE WORDS FOR WHAT HAPPENED, ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY WITNESSED IT. YOU CAN SEE THERE’S SOME PEOPLE THAT HAVE LEFT, BUT EARLIER WE SAW DOZENS OUT HERE GATHERING, SHOWING UP TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT. THIS IS STILL AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION. WOODLAN POLICE DID TELL US THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE THIS IS A DUI, BUT THIS IS STILL ONGOING. SO AS WE CONTINUE TO LEARN MORE DETAILS ABOUT HOW THIS HAPPENED, AND WE’LL MAKE SURE TO KEEP YOU UPDATED NOW LIVE IN WOODLAND. CATALINA ESTRADA KCRA THREE NEWS. ALL RIGHT, CATALINA, THANK YOU. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH TO THE LITTLE GIRL’S PARENTS
