Charges: 2 sisters on the run after one of them driving SUV hit, killed man on scooter in Minneapolis
Data recovered from the SUV revealed that Victoria Yorahee was traveling 78 to 83 miles per hour at the time of impact.
A text conversation found in the cellphone from the day of the crash revealed that Tianna Yorahee told her sister that she wanted to smoke marijuana.
About two weeks later, Steward’s daughter told police that the sisters fled to Las Vegas. The daughter added that Victoria Yorahee was harassing her by phone and social media, bragging that she’ll never get caught and “that she would get pregnant to avoid going to prison,” the charges read.
The daughter gave police contact information for a witness in Las Vegas who had spoken to both sisters. The witness told police last week that he was introduced to the Yorahees because the sisters “wanted help with their situation,” the charges continued.
During a meeting, Victoria Yorahee told the witness that she was driving drunk and hit a man on what she described as a motorcycle. She admitted that she and her sister fled the scene and flew to Las Vegas. The witness said he told Victoria Yorahee to call police, but she refused. That’s when the witness reached out to Steward’s family on social media and told them that he had met with the sisters.
In an online fundraising campaign, Steward’s family wrote, “Our dad was a loving and caring person who touched the lives of many. He always put others first and was a pillar of strength for our family. We want to give him the memorial he deserves, to honor his memory and say our last goodbyes.”
