Woman in the ICU after struck by vehicle while leaving concert in Boone
BOONE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) — A young woman has been hospitalized after she was struck by a vehicle over the weekend while attending a concert in Boone.
Mallory Price Mayor, 20, of Waxhaw, was seriously injured Saturday, April 26, after being struck by a Toyota Tacoma, operated by a 22-year-old, while crossing Old US 421 South near Cabbage Row Drive. The NC State Highway Patrol responded just before 10 p.m. to the scene.
Highway Patrol confirms with Queen City News that the initial crash investigation did not show impairment or speed as contributing factors. The area was closed for about an hour.
'At the time of the collision, there was heavy pedestrian, as well as vehicular traffic in this area, because of the Thaw Out concert,' Highway Patrol said.
NCSHP confirmed no charges will be filed in this accident.
According to family and friends, Mallory had been returning home from the concert when the accident occurred. She reportedly suffered a fractured skull, brain bleed, and broken femur and underwent emergency brain surgery at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center. She remains in the ICU but is now breathing on her own following femur surgery on April 28.
A GoFundMe campaign has been launched to help cover medical and living expenses.

Minneapolis mother witnesses tragic murder-suicide involving 2-year-old
The Brief Just after midnight Monday, 2-year-old Kinsley was shot and killed by her father. He then turned the gun on himself. Kinsley's mother, Trisha Prinsen, says her boyfriend struggled with mental health, but Sunday had a crisis and behavior she had never seen before. Prinsen says she and her daughter were held hostage in their own home, unable to call for help before the shooting. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A Minneapolis mother is dealing with tragedy after her 2-year-old daughter was shot and killed by her father, who then turned the gun on himself. What we know Police were called to the family's home on the 2900 block of Colfax Avenue North just after midnight Monday. They arrived to find the 2-year-old girl and her father both deceased. Trisha Prinsen says she and her daughter were not allowed to leave the home, and essentially held hostage. Her boyfriend was armed and having a mental crisis. She was able to text two friends to call police, but nothing happened. She did not know you can text 911 for help. What they're saying Trisha Prinsen says although she is angry and sad, her daughter loved her father very much, and that she loved him too. Prinsen says, "I still love him. It's gonna take me a while to forgive him but I still love him." At the height of the crisis, Kinsley went to hug her father, and that's when he shot her and turned the gun on himself. This happened right in front of Prinsen. "Really he just went into a mental psychosis thought people were living under the house, people were watching him. I can't explain it. I couldn't understand where his thinking had gone, he had never been like this before." Prinsen said. Prinsen went onto say, "I'll never be able to take away the images losing her, watching him do that in front of me. I'll never be able to take those images out of my head." Big picture view Prinsen hopes by sharing her story, it will help to raise mental health awareness. She hopes if someone is going through a crisis, or a loved one is struggling they will go get help. She also wants to spread the word that you can text 911, as she didn't know that and it may have helped to prevent such a horrible tragedy. What you can do Trisha is hoping to get help for funeral expenses through a GoFundMe.

No charging decision made yet in case related to viral video
Jun. 10—ROCHESTER — The Rochester City Attorney's Office has not made a charging decision for the case involving Shiloh Hendrix, a woman caught on video using a racial slur at a Rochester park. According to City Attorney Michael Spindler-Krage, the office has no updates to report yet, as of Monday, June 9. The viral video's case was referred to the city attorney's office on May 5 after the Rochester Police Department completed its investigation. The original video, which was posted on April 28, depicted a man confronting the woman for calling a Black child a racial slur at a Soldiers Field Park playground. Though the original video was deleted, social media influencers had reposted the video with their own commentary. One user's repost on TikTok has since garnered 14.2 million views and 1.3 million likes. The woman in the video identified herself as Shiloh Hendrix in a crowdfunding campaign, asking the public to help her family relocate after their personal information was leaked. As of Tuesday, June 10, Hendrix's campaign has raised more than $790,000. In response to her fundraising efforts, the Rochester branch of the NAACP created a GoFundMe to raise $340,000 for the child in the video and his family. Days after the video was posted, a town hall and protests were held to encourage the city attorney's office to press charges against Hendrix. At the time, Spindler-Krage said it would be premature to estimate when a final decision would be made but that his office would release its decision publicly. The Rochester branch of the NAACP urged the city attorney's office and Olmsted County Attorney's Office "to act with urgency, seriousness, thoroughness, and expediency." The statement listed seven Minnesota criminal statutes the organization believes would apply to the case. The case marks the second completed investigation into a high-profile incident involving race in Rochester over the last year. On April 14, 2024, a racial slur was spelled out using plastic cups in the chain-link fence on the pedestrian bridge over East Circle Drive. The Rochester Police Department identified the four teenagers responsible for the act and referred the case to the Olmsted County Attorney's Office on June 3, 2024. Three days later, former County Attorney Mark Ostrem said his office would not file charges. While the incident was offensive, Ostrem wrote at the time, it has protection under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. In August 2024, a state representative found racist graffiti painted on her shed, a swastika on a window of her home, and paint over all but one of the surveillance cameras around her house. The investigation has not been completed.
