Overview

  • Slaughter, 25, was arrested on July 29 in Fort Lauderdale and is held at Broward Main Jail on 14 felony charges including vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a deadly crash.
  • Prosecutors filed a motion arguing that her long history of license suspensions, including bans since 2021, and prior convictions for DUI and reckless driving present an unmanageable risk.
  • The motion asserts that she fled the April 29 crash scene after running a red light at high speed, a collision that killed an unborn child and seriously injured three other occupants.
  • The Broward State Attorney’s Office cites her repeated disregard for court orders and contends that no release conditions could guarantee community safety.
  • Slaughter is scheduled to appear at a hearing on August 1 to determine whether she will remain in custody until her trial.
