15-year-old Doesn’t Realize He Just Ended 3 Lives

39-year-old Yarina was waiting at a stop sign along with her mother and aunt while returning home after a good day, but she had no idea it would be the last time all of them would ever see each other. Viewer discretion is advised as what you're about to see is the heartbreaking aftermath of the crash and how it made everyone's blood boil when they discovered who the driver of the SUV was.

There's three unconscious females and a white car in here.

Gasping for air, passenger may be dead and there's a person with a vaccine we can't reach. three unconscious. I have three unconscious females in one of those cars. One of the vehicles.

She's trapped within the seat.

The driver vomited.

I cannot take her out.

When I got here, she was peeing.

We can't do nothing about it.

The only thing we can do about it. We got three people here unconscious. Unconscious.

My rescue survivor, we have a vendor unit,

you cannot stop him.

Senores, por favor, por favor. Senoras, pa' allá, pa' la esquina, por favor. Pa' la esquina. Pa' la esquina, por favor.

I live down this street here.

You're gonna have to put a four-way stop on this corner because I've seen so many, so many guys.

¿Cuántas personas venían a este lugar, hermano?

Este muchacho. How many people came to this place? This boy.

This boy?

I think he's calling him.

Who was the driver? This was the driver?

This is the boy.

He's in the car.

This is the driver?

Yes.

Where are you going?

This way. I think we can carry her out. Unfortunately, Yarina and her 71-year-old aunt Gloria died on the spot as they took most of the impact, which threw the car onto the lawn. Her mom, 66-year-old Liliana, was in life-threatening condition and was soon going to be airlifted to the nearest hospital. The 15-year-old SUV driver was identified as Michael and he had taken his parents' car without their permission, along with two other friends, for a joyride.

He was in just 8th grade and had no license when he decided to accelerate the car to 83 mph in a 30 mph zone, running stop signs and crashing into Yerina's car, all because he wanted to impress his friends. He was yet to realize the severity of the situation he was in. Hold on, hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got a board?

Yeah, I got a board. Go, go, go.

Go, bingalo.

What happened? I don't f***ing know.

Hey, como esta, senora?

Were you able to get... Yes, yes, rescue is doing that, okay?

When I got to her, the driver was seizing and she was vomiting.

Did anybody see the accident?

I don't know if these people were outside.

We live two houses down, so we came running.

Let's see if I can find anybody.

There was a guy who knew what happened.

Okay, who was this guy? I need to find someone. It was the guy with the blue shirt.

With the blue shirt? Yeah. And there was another one, there was a young lady.

He was gone telling him that this white car

was heading to a hospital.

They're fine. You guys are good, right? Yeah, we're good. Okay, cause Rescue's taking care of something a lot more. You guys, hang tight. Somewhat.

Who saw what happened? Nobody saw what happened? Hey tight Somewhat can be a little bit possible now you're gonna get my soul

You know The whole guy I don't give a f***, get in there. No, it's you. Tell me everything. I know.

Damn, man.

Your nephew is down there. Your nephew is fine. There are three of them. They are out here. In the rescue. Hey, see who he's looking for?

Your nephew is here.

No, that's a burning impression.

No, no, no.

Listen to me. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. He's fine. You just have to wait for him to get there.

He's fine. He's fine.

They just took him out. There's only going to be one airlifter, one transport. She was the one that was in the...

That ****** is 15 years old.

That ****** driver.

This one? Yeah, that's right. Do we know that there's only these cars involved?

Three cars, 17.

Yeah, that's what they told me.

When I heard that, like this,

this is like, you never hear 17s go out here.

Yeah, I know, I heard three car fatalities, and I'm like, that's a weird spot. This is very, very, very quiet, man. Although it makes sense that we're in one of these little neighborhood intersections.

This is more like a chill.

And it sucks because I heard a 15-year-old kid. I'm thinking, oh, way to go, dickhead. But I guess actually, I mean, he might have been speeding,

but it was actually the other car that probably ran a stop

sign.

I was getting violated.

It sucks when you got to get there when you're just sitting in the car. This is sad for HBD responses. You know, at the end of the day, you know,

the sack of somebody's mom, somebody's loved ones got killed. That's a hard

blue. A community coming together saturday to remember two lives taken

too soon in a way that it was violent in a way that was preventable, just because some child decided to take a joyride.

Yarina Garcia and Gloria Hernandez killed after police say 15-year-old Michael Santiesteban took his parents' car and sped in excess of 80 miles per hour through this Hialeah neighborhood. Maybe he thought it was cool.

That's not cool. That does not make you cool. You took away somebody that I love.

Michael's actions had devastated Yarina's family and nobody was able to fathom that the three were gone and would never return. He was arrested the next day and was soon going to be taken to juvenile court. But fate had something else in store for him.

We don't want a kid.

English, Spanish?

Both. English is better.

Alright, do you have anything on you that I should be concerned about? No. I'm just going to be the one transporting you, alright? Alright. This is just policy. I'm not... I'm not you alright? Alright, this is just policy. I'm not, I'm not going to just put your hands on the car, spread your legs.

Just making sure that you have nothing. Put your hands on the back. Interlock your fingers.

The most comfortable, the tighter, the tighter you get your wrists, the more comfortable it is. Alright?

This is just policy of how I have to take somebody in the back of the car. Alright, just get in there, watch your head.

20, 230, go.

You good?

You good?

Just turn your body to bear. Turn sideways so your knees don't. It's a short ride, so we'll be there.

Let's play them out.

Once we get upstairs, I'll switch on to the front. It's a little bit more comfortable.

Why Garcia says his niece had just become an accountant. She was the light of their entire family. My sister was loved.

My sister who could not hurt a soul. She was so kind. The family also praying for Yarina's mother Liliana Hernandez. She was also in the vehicle and remains in the hospital in critical

condition. Five months after the accident, Yarina's mother Liliana passed away while fighting for her life in the hospital. Michael, who was the only child of his parents, was shown no mercy in juvenile court for his crimes as the judge denied his bond and ruled that he be tried as an adult. He later pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to 15 years in prison, followed by 15 years of probation.

It's very hard to talk, and so I've written this out. I asked my attorney to please read it. I want to say I'm really, really sorry.

His defense attorney argued he should be sentenced as a youthful offender. His family testified despite some behavioral issues, he was a good kid. Please understand that in the end he's a child, he's a boy. But the state argued his actions, despite his age, were too reckless to ignore.

The sentencing guidelines call to take into account the severity of the offense and the circumstances surrounding it.

Michael was also banned from having a driver's license for 15 years following his release, and any violation of his probation would result in an additional 30 years in prison. and any violation of his probation would result in an additional 30 years in prison.
