SEDRO-WOOLLEY, Wash. — A memorial is growing for a young woman who was hit and killed on the 4th of July.
Police say 19-year-old Anahi Mendoza was near Highway 20 and Township Street when a speeding driver hit her and then took off.
Mendoza’s uncle created a GoFundMe account explaining his niece was selling fireworks at the time to fund a cross country road trip to Florida at the time she was killed.
In a Facebook post, police say the suspect has a multi-state criminal history, including 17 felony convictions and he was booked into jail for vehicular homicide, DUI and driving with a suspended license.
The suspect’s bail has been set at $750,000.
