FULL TITLE: Pregnant mother, 32, died saving her kids from driver who 'repeatedly plowed into family of eight after he was asked to stop blowing smoke at them'
An enraged driver has been accused of intentionally plowing his car into a family of eight, killing a 32-year-old pregnant mother and injuring a father and their six children.
Police believe an argument between the driver, identified as 35-year-old Jason Mendez, and the family may have sparked the Wednesday afternoon attack at a 7-Eleven store in Haverstraw, New York.
Witnesses reported that father-of-six Shawn DeLoatch had asked Mendez not to blow smoke in the direction of his children.
Mendez then allegedly struck all eight members of the family with his Nissan Infiniti sedan, smashing them into the storefront before reversing the vehicle and driving forward again to hit the victims a second time.
All eight family members were hospitalized. The woman, Melissa Castillo DeLoatch, was later pronounced dead.
Shawn DeLoatch, 35, and the six children, ranging in age from less than a year old to 10 years old, were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
'Kids doing great up here,' the dad wrote in a Facebook post from Westchester Medical Center on Thursday.

death by cheese grater.
“Well, I scanned the article twice, and didn’t see it mentio8. But, I’ve missed references before.”
I miss a lot of things they don’t print.
Now there's man who likes his smoke.
Handcuff him to his steering wheel. Add 1/2 gallon unleaded gasoline and a lit zippo.
Poof.
Someone should shove this up Cuomo’s ass sideways.
One has to wonder what is wrong with people. So he was asked not to blow smoke. You don’t kill people for that.
They should have cleaned it off on the nearest concrete block wall for a half an hour, or so...
It was probably the way it was done.
There was error on both sides. The most error being the guy who rammed his car into the family. He should swing.
May God grant eternal peace and rest to Melissa Castillo DeLoatch, and watch over those who mourn her.
Google the perp’s name and look for stories at lohud.com
I’m not sure, but I think they pulled what they had up and what I found was a cached version.
There was quite a bit on the perp. And no info on his citizenship. If lohud.com did pull the story....interesting.
I’ll go with death by belt sander, pausing occasionally to prevent bleed out with cauterization from propane torch
He was just doing what the snowflakes are being taught in academia they have a right to do - get all upset and out of kilter over “trigger” words.
Trial is over. Guilty. Time for execution.
What is so hard about just walking away?
I tried to take pictures at a few local little league games a few years ago in Louisiana. I quit because the parents were suck a bunch of irritating twits...
Anyway at one game I leaned against the side of the gate leading into the field, with a cigarette lit. The dugout was a good 15 feet away, and was NOT downwind. Some lady with the team, visiting team, got snotty and insisted I shouldn’t smoke around the kids. She didn’t try to be nice about it, the only way I can describe her is rude and snotty.
I just said OK and walked away. No sense arguing with her or starting a scene, I don’t need pictures that bad. She’s convinced she’s right anyway, I’m a slimeball because I smoke at all (I don’t anymore, quit last summer when I got really sick). There’s no talking to these people.
I’ve always gotten really irritated with the non smokers and their demands. If you don’t smoke, don’t want me to smoke in your house, that’s fine, I go outside and I Have no problem with it. But the political buttheads never get enough.
First they created non smoking areas. Not good enough, now they force you to go outside. Not good enough, now no closer than 25 feet from the door. Not good enough, the former mayor of New York tried to get a city ordinance in place making it illegal to smoke in your won living room. I think that was Bloomberg but don’t remember.
It’s never enough, same as gun control. As we saw already, the 10 year “assault weapon” ban was nowhere near enough, the whole time Democrats still tried to do everything they could think of to enact any gun control laws they could think of. Background checks already in place have done nothing, but they still want universal background checks...
The Brady bill shows what they really want, I read the original text. It would have completely banned everything but single shot shotguns, you’d have to have a federal permit and go through nine miles of govt red tape to get ammo. They also used the term “Self loading firearms” to fool people into letting them ban ALL semi auto and pump and lever action firearms.
All that took was a little creative word twisting...Well, all you have to do is operate this lever and the gun loads itself, so it’s a self loading firearm and we want it banned. The term Semi Automatic was nowhere to be found if I remember correctly.
Non smokers have been doing the same thing, if they could ban smoking altogether they would, in a heartbeat.
On the other hand, someone who does smoke, in a situation like this, can simply say OK and walk off. It’s not hard to do. I’ve done it. It’s just not worth a fight, getting arrested...it’s too easy to just say OK fine, and walk away. I understand the guy doesn’t want someone blowing smoke in his kids’ faces, when I smoked I didn’t someone else blowing it in my face. I get that. So if someone asked me to smoke somewhere else, I just said OK and went away. It’s too much effort to start a fight over it...just leave...
I hope they send this guy to the great smoke break in the sky...
