SUMMARY: WDSU has released new footage of a crash caused by alleged shoplifter Shaneka Smith, leading to the deaths of two teenagers, 17-year-olds Giselle Smith and Semaj Morris. Smith, who was accused of stealing six Gucci scarves from Saks Fifth Avenue before a chase, is facing charges. The crash occurred on December 11 after deputies initiated a brief pursuit of her vehicle. The high-speed incident resulted in tragic fatalities over mere dollars in stolen goods, prompting demands for accountability from the victims’ families. New Orleans police may issue an arrest warrant for another suspect involved in the theft.

Joneaka Smooth, 31, is now facing charges for allegedly shoplifting on the afternoon of Dec. 11, hours before deputies said she caused a deadly crash.

SUMMARY: Deja Carter was killed in a drunk driving accident on December 26th, leaving her young son Messiah without a mother. Her family is devastated, with her mother, Kendra Carter, expressing anger after learning that the killer, 21-year-old Brogan Freeman, was released from prison after serving less than a year. Freeman, who pled guilty to vehicular homicide, was sentenced to 15 years, with five to be served in prison. The family feels justice wasn’t served, as Freeman will be on house arrest for two years and probation for five, while Messiah will never have another Christmas with his mother.

Less than a year after a young Luling mother was killed in a drunk driving accident, her killer is out of jail.
