CHICAGO (Gray News) - Chicago authorities say a woman has been charged after carjacking a food delivery driver who was fatally hit by his own vehicle.
The Chicago Police Department said Montoya Perry, 33, was arrested earlier this week on charges of murder and vehicular hijacking.
Perry is accused of taking 28-year-old Daniel Figueroa’s vehicle in the 5500 block of West Flournoy Street at about 2 a.m. on Monday.
Authorities said Figueroa was struck by his own vehicle as the offender, identified as Perry, took off from the scene in his car.
The Uber Eats driver was taken to an area hospital, but he did not survive his injuries.
WLS reports that Figueroa’s girlfriend, Sandra Guerrero, had last seen him on Sunday night. The 28-year-old had just gotten off work from Amazon and was said to work extra hours for Uber Eats.
“I didn’t get any texts or call from him until his mom reached out to me at seven in the morning, saying, you know, he had passed away,” Guerrero said. “Today, it’s my son’s birthday. We had the whole day planned out ... I can’t believe it right now.”
Guerrero shared that Figueroa was a dedicated family man who treated her son like his own, working multiple jobs to help support their family.
Perry repeatedly has prior convictions and was out on pre-trial release for another incident that happened two weeks prior.
The 33-year-old remains jailed waiting for her next court appearance scheduled for March 18.
No doubt released again and again by those fine 'compassionate' liberal Democrat judges in Chicago.

Guessing that is supposed to be “reportedly” and not “repeatedly.” Proofreading....🙄
Uh huh.
It reads about the same either way.
That is one evil creature. She doesn’t look troubled at all that she just killed a man.
Sad for the man’s family.
Why didn’t they just let her out again? May just as well since they don’t seem to give a damn about law and order and protecting the innocent citizens from repeat offenders.
“You’re no good. You’re no good. You’re no good.
Baby. you’re no good!”
That’s just chiCongo’s version of reparations for injustices the recipients never experienced.
You don't say?
She’d look Pretti with a Good tattoo.
Don’ gets between LaMontoya and she fried chicken order..
Even when I pump gas, I take my keys out of the ignition.
No doubt Uber will add additional charges for their delivery.
“Couldn’t HE have just beaten the [deleted per posting guidelines] out of her?”
Nope.
We’re in a zombie apocalypse and our leaders protect the zombies.
That’s the sad truth.
Very.
She definitely looks like she’s not right in the head.
I wonder how many children she has?
