KANSAS CITY (AP) — A Kansas City woman accused of repeatedly and intentionally running over and killing a man with his own car, then running down and injuring a witness who called police, has been charged in the case, authorities said.
Sasha Waloke, 32, is charged with second-degree murder, assault and two counts of armed criminal action in the Saturday night incident.
Police have said Larry Green, 68, of Kansas City, died at the scene and was the owner of the car Waloke is accused of using to kill him.
The witness who was injured, Michelle “Micaela” Hernandez, 26, told The Kansas City Star she was walking down her street to call her children for supper when she saw two men and a woman beating a man with a bat and shovel. While she was on the phone with 911, she saw the woman get into a car and repeatedly run over the man. Hernandez said the woman yelled that the man had tried to rape her, then got back in the car, chased Hernandez up a street and hit her with the car, injuring Hernandez's leg.
Waloke is being held in lieu of $200,000 bond.
