Outcry as TikTok livestreamer who allegedly hit and killed man asks for donations
"You know I don't like asking y'all for shit, but if y'all find it in y'all's heart and y'all wanna support, my CashApp [account] is right there, the woman said, according to a recording of the plea made to a restricted TikTok audience three days from the traffic crash that killed 59-year-old Darren Lucas. If y'all wanna pour something in, y'all are more than welcome to do that, the user added."
"TikTok users who saw the recording after it was shared outside the restricted audience reacted swiftly and unkindly to the request for assistance, as the online magazine the Root first reported. CASH APP???? AFTER MOWING OVER SOMEBODY'S GRANDPA???? read one of the comments. Wow despicable!!! She has no remorse!!! read a separate comment. Another added: This man is never coming back or ever seeing his family again."
"Zion police department Lt Paul Kehrli later told the Lake and McHenry County Scanner that drugs and alcohol were not suspected of being factors in Lucas's death, and the driver involved in the fatal crash a 43-year-old Zion woman remained at the scene to speak to authorities. Kehrli on Monday said to the Guardian that no charges have been approved at this time."
A social media creator allegedly struck and killed 59-year-old Darren Lucas while livestreaming and driving through a Chicago suburb. A recording shows the creator soliciting CashApp donations three days before the crash, asking followers to support her. Users who saw the recording after it was shared more widely reacted with anger and accusations of lacking remorse. The incident occurred in Zion, Illinois, where the victim was pronounced dead from blunt force injuries at a hospital. Police say drugs and alcohol were not suspected, the driver remained at the scene, no charges have been approved yet, and a video is considered relevant to the investigation.
