The D.C. woman charged in the March 2023 crash that killed three people on Rock Creek Parkway is not guilty of second-degree murder, a jury ruled Monday.
Nakita Walker, 46, drove away from a traffic stop by the Kennedy Center during the early morning hours of March 15, 2023, and crashed soon after into a rideshare vehicle carrying Lyft driver Mohamed Kamara and passengers Olvin Torres Velasquez and Jonathan Cabrera Mendez.
All three died in the head-on collision near the P Street NW exit on the Rock Creek Parkway.
The jury did find Walker guilty of three counts of involuntary manslaughter. She’s scheduled for sentencing June 5.
