Maggie Dunn, 17, and Caroline Gill, 16, died in collision as David Cauthron chased suspected car thief in a Louisiana town
Maggie Dunn, 17, and Caroline Gill, 16, died in collision as chased suspected car thief in Louisiana town
Cauthron, authorities said, drove his police car through an intersection in Brusly, which is next to Addis, ignoring a red light and colliding with a car that held the two girls and Dunn’s 20-year-old brother, Liam, who was critically injured. The parish’s top prosecutor, Tony Clayton, said in a news release this week that he intends to ask the grand jury to consider charging Cauthron. Possible charges include negligent homicide and negligent injury. Clayton stressed that the investigation will be thorough, but he made clear that he believes the hot pursuit of suspect Tyquel Zanders, 24, was a deadly mistake.
Baton Rouge news outlets, citing arrest records, say Zanders is accused of entering a relative’s home and making off with his father’s car before leading police on a chase across the river and into Brusly, where the deadly crash occurred. Authorities say Zanders drove back across the river and was arrested in Baton Rouge, where he is charged with car theft, home invasion and aggravated flight.
