A passenger in a vehicle, identified as 47-year-old James Grant, has been charged with murder after the car he was traveling in struck and killed a 14-year-old Dallas ISD student walking to school. Police say Grant got into an argument with the driver, assaulted him, and the struggle continued until the car veered off the road, hitting Jonathan Ayala.
Dallas police say the passenger in a vehicle that hit and killed a teenager Friday morning on E. Ledbetter Drive near Marsalis Avenue will be charged with murder.
Ayala's brother told NBC 5 that Ayala loved sports and looked forward to playing basketball at the high school level next year. East Ledbetter Drive is part of Loop 12, the deadliest roadway for traffic crashes in Dallas, according to an analysis of TxDOT crash data bythat the roadway needs to be changed to slow high-speed traffic on the road, which transitions from a freeway into a city street. Our reporting has also documented a lack of safe places for pedestrians to cross, leaving many to seek refuge on narrow medians as they attempt to get to the other side of the street.
