Overview
- Tammy Sandoval, 55, received five to 15 years for operating while license suspended causing death and a concurrent three to five years for causing serious injury.
- She pleaded guilty to the two operating-while-suspended charges as part of an agreement that led prosecutors to dismiss the failure-to-stop counts.
- Judge Nicholas Hatahway imposed the negotiated terms and ordered more than $7,000 in restitution.
- The June 29, 2025 crash on Merriman Road near Lyndon followed Livonia Spree fireworks, killing 3-year-old Khalil Robinson and leaving his mother, Tia, with a traumatic brain injury as twin sister Khloe continues to struggle emotionally.
- Police said Sandoval fled and was arrested the next day; records show her license had been suspended since August 2024 after refusing a DUI test, and a 19-year-old witness who followed her car provided the plate number to investigators.
