In a tragic turn of events, one of two sisters involved in a deadly car crash that claimed the lives of three high school football players appeared in court on Wednesday. The incident, which occurred earlier this month, has left a community in mourning.

According to police reports, 21-year-old Dymond Monroe and her 19-year-old sister, Destini Genwright, were racing on October 8 while en route to their younger brother’s 18th birthday celebration. The high-speed race ended in catastrophe when Monroe’s Honda Civic veered off the road, resulting in the deaths of three passengers, as reported by WTVD.

Court records reveal that Monroe was traveling at 76 mph in a zone designated for 45 mph at the time of the accident, which occurred shortly after a football practice session. Both sisters were allegedly racing in separate vehicles.

Genwright attended her initial court hearing to formally hear the charges against her and is scheduled to return to court in December. She faces four misdemeanor charges: willful speed competition, speeding, careless and reckless driving, and an insurance violation, according to a statement from the Fayetteville police. Currently, she is free on a $10,000 bond.

Meanwhile, her sister Monroe, who was severely injured in the crash, remains hospitalized. In addition to the misdemeanors, Monroe is facing three felony charges of involuntary manslaughter.

The crash killed 18-year-old Jai-Hyon Elliot, 17-year-old Nicholas Williams and 17-year-old Trevor Merritt, who were passengers in Monroe’s car. All three were students and football players at E.E. Smith High School in Fayetteville.

“I hope that it is an ever-present reminder for the individuals when they’re driving — don’t do something that can result in you being hurt, a friend or a family member being injured, or, unfortunately, what we see when we lost three young lives two weeks ago,” Assistant Fayetteville Police Chief Todd Joyce told WTVD.
