SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A fundraiser has been set up to support the family of De'Veonte Morris. The money raised will help De'Veonte's family pay for funeral expenses.
The 19-year-old was hit and killed on I-8 the evening of Oct. 20 as a series of crashes stymied traffic on the eastbound lanes. A man driving a Toyota Camry hit De'Veonte and the La Mesa police officer, Lauren Craven, who stopped to help him.
The driver, Antonio Abel Alcantar, was later arrested and charged with a DUI, bodily injury, and gross vehicular manslaughter.
