Durham man faces new charges in teen e-bike rider’s fatal crash

Durham police charged 26-year-old Joseph Savarino with felony death by motor vehicle, involuntary manslaughter and failure to reduce speed in the crash that killed 15-year-old Cardinal Gibbons freshman Jack O’Shea, who was riding an e-bike. Savarino had previously faced a misdemeanor DWI and recorded a BAC of 0.11% about 3 hours 45 minutes after the crash; he posted $100,000 bond, surrendered his license, and was released as the Durham County DA’s Office pursued the new charges following a thorough investigation.

California mom charged with involuntary manslaughter after teen’s high-powered e-motorcycle kills pedestrian

A southern California mother faces involuntary manslaughter and additional counts after her 14-year-old son, riding a high-powered Surron e-motorcycle, struck and killed an 81-year-old man. Prosecutors say she allowed illegal riding despite warnings, adding charges of felony child endangerment, accessory after the fact, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor; she could face up to about 7 years and 8 months in prison if convicted. The case highlights ongoing debates over parental liability and safety around e-motorcycles for youths.

OC Mom Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter After Teen's E-Motorcycle Crash Kills Pedestrian

An Orange County mother, 50-year-old Tommi Jo Mejer, is charged with involuntary manslaughter after her 14-year-old son—illegally riding a Surron e-motorcycle outside El Toro High School in Lake Forest—hit 81-year-old Vietnam War veteran Ed Ashman, who died two weeks later. Deputies warned Mejer last year that letting her son ride the vehicle could lead to charges, but prosecutors say she allowed him to ride despite the danger. This case marks OC’s third parent charged this year for letting a child ride an e-motorcycle; e-bikes under 20 mph have no licensing restrictions, while higher-speed e-motorcycles require a license, registration and insurance.

Four MSP Academy staff charged over trooper’s boxing-training death

Four Massachusetts State Police Academy staffers, including Sgt. Jennifer Penton, were charged with involuntary manslaughter and causing serious bodily injury in Trooper Enrique Delgado-Garcia’s 2024 death after a boxing training session. A nine‑month grand jury investigation led by independent counsel David Meier found Delgado-Garcia suffered concussion-like symptoms before fatal head injuries the next day, prompting academy reforms and an outside assessment of training culture. The suspects were summoned to court rather than arrested; Delgado-Garcia, 25, died Sept. 13, 2024, with the death later listed as accidental.

SF Shove Case Ends with Not Guilty of Murder for Attacker of Thai Grandfather

A San Francisco jury found Antoine Watson not guilty of murder and elder abuse in the 2021 death of 84-year-old Thai grandfather Vicha Ratanapakdee, instead convicting him on lesser offenses such as involuntary manslaughter and assault. The attack, captured on video and widely shared, helped galvanize awareness of anti-Asian violence during the pandemic. Prosecutors argued malicious intent; Watson’s defense said the act was impulsive. Aggravating factors will be considered later, with potential for up to nine years in prison. Ratanapakdee’s family describes the killing as racially motivated, and his daughter plans to pursue accountability through a lawsuit while continuing advocacy for elder safety; SF tributes to his memory have appeared but one mural was recently removed.
