Woman caught after fleeing Minneapolis charges in hit-and-run death of scooter rider

One of two sisters who fled after being charged in the hit-and-run death of a motorized scooter rider in Minneapolis has been arrested hundreds of miles away in Texas.

Victoria Nevada Yorahee, 25, of Mesa, Ariz., was booked into the Dallas County jail on Sept. 4 on two counts of criminal vehicular homicide filed last month in Hennepin County District Court with .

Yorahee was charged with fatally injuring 52-year-old Andre Zedrick Steward of Minneapolis in a hit-and-run collision on July 29 at Fremont and 22nd avenues N. Steward died at a hospital four days later.

Law enforcement did not disclose what led to Yorahee’s arrest.

Also charged was Tianna Renee Yorahee, 18, of Minneapolis. She faces a felony count of aiding an offender to avoid arrest. As of late Thursday afternoon, she remained a fugitive, police said.

Investigators used witness accounts and surveillance video to piece together the crash:

Officers arrived and saw the heavily damaged SUV on top of the scooter on Fremont about a half-block south of the intersection. A severely injured Steward was on the pavement nearby. An ambulance took him to North Memorial Health Hospital, where he died.

Victoria Yorahee was driving with her sister and an unidentified female as passenger. After the crash, all three got out of the SUV. Victoria Yorahee removed a lone license plate from the rear of the vehicle. The two passengers threw several liquor bottles into nearby bushes. The women fled on foot, and witnesses chased them.

Officers recovered from inside the SUV a cellphone and paperwork identifying Victoria Yorahee. Data recovered from the vehcile revealed that she was traveling 78 to 83 mph at the time of collision.

About two weeks later, Steward’s daughter told police that the sisters had fled to Las Vegas. The daughter said Victoria Yorahee was harassing her by phone and social media, bragging that she would never be 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.
