The driver who mowed down people Wednesday was also a rapper, headed to a gig.
Ironically, two of those hit in the pedestrian area were on wheeled vehicles (a bicycle and a scooter).
While the media has played up how “rare” it is to have such deadly incidents at SXSW, I have to wonder how often a driver runs down pedestrians in the downtown/Red River area considering the police regularly close the road on weekends.
Acevedo called the two fatalities ‘subjects’ in his press conference. Guy needs to go.
Yup, and had a rap sheet longer than his arm. He had several warrants for him and that is why he ran from the PD.
