• Prosecutors say the teen was driving unlicensed and uninsured at speeds up to 90 mph when he T-boned Weaver’s vehicle at an Aurora intersection in July 2024.
• Weaver, a 24-year-old drug rehabilitation worker, was kept on life support for two days before her organs were donated and her family denounced the plea agreement.
• ICE Denver publicly blasted Arapahoe County’s plea deal as too lenient, arguing federal custody was required to uphold justice.
• The teen and his family remain in ICE custody pending immigration hearings, with asylum claims not blocking detention under current federal policy.
