Suspect in deadly 2023 hit-and-run crash charged with manslaughter, affidavit says
AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man who was accused of killing an Austin father and daughter in a 2023 hit-and-run in east Austin has been charged with manslaughter, a second-degree felony, according to a Travis County arrest warrant affidavit. On June 23, 2023, the driver of a 2010 red Chevrolet was involved in a two-vehicle crash in the 5500 block of Delta Post Drive. Deputies identified the suspect as Luis Rodolfo Mata Limon, said the affidavit. KXAN will reach out to Luis' attorney once it is provided. We will update this if a statement is received. According to the affidavit, Limon 'failed to give half of the roadway and struck a black ATV.' The ATV was operated by Jonathan Gomez-Guajardo, who was with his daughter Azeneth Gomez-Rodriguez. Sadly, both were killed as a result of the crash. A video from a parked Tesla nearby captured the crash and was obtained by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers, according to the affidavit. The video showed the pickup truck traveling southwest on Delta Post Drive and the ATV traveling northeast also on Delta Post Drive. Both vehicles eventually collided head-on. The pickup truck dragged the ATV across the roadway, onto the sidewalk area and into the grass, the affidavit detailed. The truck continued traveling southwest and eventually made a complete stop. That was when Limon left the scene on foot. Additionally, Travis County deputies had spoken with witnesses in the area and one resident even captured a Hispanic man running away from the scene of the crash. Through investigation, an iPhone and cans of alcohol were left inside the truck. The affidavit stated that only the driver's side airbag was deployed and was later used as DNA evidence. The phone left inside the vehicle also provided evidence for law enforcement. Following the crash investigation, troopers showed up at the residence where the vehicle was registered–which was under his father's name, Salvador Mata Garcia. When DPS arrived at the residence, they were unsuccessful in locating Luis and Salvador. However, on June 24, DPS was able to get in contact with Salvador, the affidavit stated. The affidavit said Salvador 'made a stolen [car] report with Travis County, but could not confirm his whereabouts during the crash time.' Salvador also told troopers that Luis was not answering his calls, nor did he show up to work since the time of the crash. The days following the crash, troopers had no luck in contacting Luis. When they asked Salvador why he hadn't reported his son missing, he told officers that 'his son is a little 'dumb'' and that 'he was not worried for him,' the affidavit stated. On July 17, 2023, a search warrant was issued for the vehicle and a DNA search warrant was issued for both men. The airbag was taken from the vehicle and was submitted to DPS Austin Crime Lab for evidence and DNA collection, the affidavit stated. According to the affidavit, the DNA search warrant was issued to 'possibly identify the driver from the DNA' in the airbag. However, DNA was only collected from Salvador. Further details revealed the night before [the crash], [Luis] was at a party and did not return home and that the truck was lent to Luis, the affidavit stated. Officials believe Luis was 'possibly drinking and driving' when the crash happened and ran away from the scene to avoid an arrest because he didn't have a valid driver's license at the time, the affidavit detailed. It was confirmed in the affidavit that Luis had open alcohol containers inside the truck. Additionally, deputies said Luis did not attempt to call 911, nor did he attempt to return to the scene of the crash to render aid to the victims. KXAN previously covered in September 2023, the family of Gomez-Guajardo and Azeneth had sued two men whom they believed were responsible for the east Austin fatal crash. They hoped this would've put pressure on the men to come forward at the time. As of Monday, there is still no information on his whereabouts, the affidavit said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Feds look to drop oversight of bank accused of discrimination in Newark
A judge ordered federal oversight after Lakeland Bank was accused of lending discrimination in 2022 in Newark. Feds now want to end oversight. (Photo by New Jersey Monitor) The Trump administration aims to end federal oversight a judge ordered in 2022 of a bank that avoided giving mortgages to people of color and opening bank branches in Black and Hispanic communities in the Newark area. Lakeland Bank has substantially complied with changes required under the September 2022 consent decree to end such discrimination, which is known as 'redlining,' and agreed to carry out whatever court-ordered reforms that remain unfinished, federal prosecutors said last week in a motion asking to end oversight more than two years early. But a nonprofit that advocates for low- and middle-income residents filed an affidavit this week calling for the consent decree to remain in place, because ending it would threaten progress made in the last two years and leave advocates with no remedy if the bank's compliance with unfinished remedies falters. It also 'sends a very bad message,' said Leila Amirhamzeh of New Jersey Citizen Action Education Fund, a Newark-based nonprofit that does housing counseling and fair housing investigations. 'Our concern with the Department of Justice's motion to terminate the consent order really speaks more to the overall message that the administration is sending to financial institutions — that it is not going to enforce fair lending laws, that it is not going to ensure that any bad actors that do engage in discriminatory redlining practices are held accountable,' Amirhamzeh said. Newark officials did not respond to a request for comment. Under the decree, Lakeland agreed to open two branches in Newark communities of color and spend $12 million on a 'loan subsidy' fund to offset closing costs, mortgage insurance premiums and down payments for Black and Hispanic residents in Essex, Somerset and Union counties who apply for mortgages and home improvement and refinancing loans. The bank also agreed to spend $1.1 million on outreach, advertising, financial counseling and community development partnerships and assign at least four loan officers to serve neighborhoods they had excluded. Lakeland merged with Prudential Financial Services last year. Prudential opened a new branch this week on the edge of the Ironbound, a Newark neighborhood home to many immigrants and people of color. It's unclear whether and when it will open a second branch, as ordered under the consent decree, as well as how much of the $13 million for the loan subsidy fund and outreach remains unspent. Keith Buscio, a Prudential Bank spokesman, referred those questions to the Justice Department, and a spokesman there did not respond to a request for comment. 'Provident acknowledges the benefit of the mortgage loan subsidy to underserved communities and, in the event the DOJ's motion is granted, will commit to spending the remaining amount under the subsidy,' Buscio said. Despite such assurances, critics remain concerned. The move to end oversight comes just two months after federal banking regulators announced they would rescind a 2023 update meant to modernize the Community Reinvestment Act, a 1977 law passed to prevent redlining, Amirhamzeh said. Ending oversight also fits a pattern of Trump-administration rollbacks of Biden-era policies that protect marginalized people, she added. The Trump administration is terminating $400 million in funds for states across the country to modernize their unemployment systems, money that was authorized in the 2021 American Rescue Plan Act passed under the Biden administration. Trump officials also recently dropped a federal civil rights investigation into police brutality and racial profiling in Trenton. SUBSCRIBE: GET THE MORNING HEADLINES DELIVERED TO YOUR INBOX
