Reina Cota was remembered by her family as a loving sister, daughter, and mother, who always placed others before herself.
TUCSON, Ariz. — An emotional scene unfolded at the Pima County Superior Court Friday as the family of Reina Cota heard the sentencing handed down of the man who tragically took her life in a fatal DUI crash in 2021.However, this dream became a reality that lasted only ten months for Reina before her life was senselessly taken during the early morning hours of February 21, 2021, leaving behind her loving family, including her now three-year-old daughter, Mia Clark.
Macayla added that her sister"looked out for everyone, she didn't care what you looked like or what you had. She treated everybody the same." Reina was pronounced dead at the scene, and her sister Mariah was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. On Friday, Reina's family finally obtained a sense of closure as Rodriguez was sentenced on all six counts he was accused of, including first-degree felony murder, which carries a 25-to-life sentence.
