Commanders Players Named in Wrongful Death Lawsuit Over Fatal 2021 Crash

The lawsuit alleges reckless racing and illegal modifications to the car involved in the crash that killed Olivia Peters.

Commanders players Benjamin St-Juste and Jamin Davis, along with former player Deshazor Everett, have been named in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the mother of Everett's deceased girlfriend, Olivia Peters.
The lawsuit alleges that the three players were racing their cars on the night of the fatal crash in December 2021, which resulted in Peters' death.
The suit claims that Everett's car was illegally equipped with nitrous oxide to boost horsepower, and that all three players were driving recklessly and at high speeds.
Everett was initially charged with involuntary manslaughter but pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving and was sentenced to three months of house arrest.
Davis has had multiple driving infractions before and after the crash, including driving 114 mph in a 45-mph zone, for which he was convicted and sentenced to 30 days in jail, but he has appealed the verdict.
