Early on Sunday, June 19, a 21-year-old woman was killed by a drunk driver in Dallas. Eunise Chavez and her friend were involved in a hit-and-run crash on U.S. Route 75 at about 3:25 am. The single driver fled the scene, leaving the two girls on the side of the highway. After getting out of the car to talk to a witness, Chavez was hit by a maroon Audi driven by Michelle Davis. Chavez was killed instantly. Davis was charged with intoxication manslaughter and accident involving serious bodily injury. Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Eunise Chavez during this difficult time.
