Police in Texas have arrested the suspect in a jet ski hit-and-run that killed a kayaker on Grapevine Lake over the weekend, while US Air Force Academy officials said the victim had recently accepted an appointment to join the academy’s class of 2029.

Ava Renee Moore, 18, was struck by the jet ski late Sunday afternoon, as CrimeOnline reported. Two women were on the watercraft, but the operator fled the scene with an unidentified man, striking a vehicle in the parking lot on the way out. The passenger remained on the scene and spoke with first responders, and investigators released a photograph of the suspect.

Grapevine Police said Tuesday they’d arrested Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez Gonzalez but did not say what charges she faces. According to WFAA, she has been charged with reckless operation and excessive speed of a personal water craft and leaving the scene of an accident involving death. She was given a $500,000 bail.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said a second person was arrested but did not identify that person or say what charges they face.

Air Force Academy officials said that Moore graduated the US Air Force Academy Preparatory School on May 19, KKTV reported.

“We lost an exemplary teammate this weekend – Cadet Candidate Ava Moore, whose passion for leadership and service left an impact on everyone she met,” academy superintendent Lt. Gen. Tony Baurnfeind said in a statement> “Ava’s constant happiness and attitude helped her squadron get through the challenges of the Prep School, and her drive to excel was on display as she sought out leadership positions to improve herself and her team.”

Butternfeind said that Moore played on the prep school’s women’s basketbatll team and that the academy was “focused on providing support to Ava’s family, her Prep School Squadron, the Prep School Women’s Basketball team, and the entire Academy family.”
