Juvenile suspect in 2023 crash that killed Northampton teen found not guilty
A juvenile suspect in a hit-and-run crash that killed 19-year-old Jesse Johansmeyer two years ago has been found not guilty, according to Johansmeyer's family. Johansmeyer was at a bonfire party on the night of March 24, 2023 when another person at the party, who was driving a pickup truck, struck him with the vehicle and drove away, MassLive reported at the time. The Northampton High School graduate was brought to the hospital for treatment, where died the next morning. Willow Vandoloski, Johansmeyer's older sister, confirmed Friday that the suspect was found not guilty last month. Because the suspect was a minor, the details of the case are not public, and the Northwestern District Attorney's Office could not share any information or confirm the verdict. Vandoloski said the outcome was 'earth-shattering' for her and her family. 'We were all kind of in a state of shock,' she said. 'The last two years since Jesse was killed, we've kind of all been in a daze, especially because we've been having to put so much effort and energy toward the trial itself. So for that two years to go on and no justice to come of that was incredibly difficult for us, and it's something we're still processing and something we're going to have to process the rest of our lives.' Since Johansmeyer's death, his family has organized an annual motorcycle ride in his honor, which has raised money for the Easthampton Dog Park for the last three years. Vandoloski said it has been a way for them to channel their grief into something that will help others. Otherwise, Johansmeyer's family members have largely leaned on each other for support, as she said there are few resources available for those grieving loved ones lost in traumatic circumstances. The family created a website and in the last few days, Vandoloski started a TikTok page to spread her brother's story and remind people of the importance of calling 911 in an emergency. She said she wants to do everything she can to preserve Johansmeyer's memory. 'He could put a smile on anybody's face. He had so much life left to give that was taken from him,' she said. 'We're going to do everything in our power to make sure Jesse's name is not forgotten.'

Woman sentenced to 30 days in crash that killed Northmont senior, injured 5
Jun. 5—A Huber Heights woman was sentenced to 30 days for a crash two years ago that killed a Northmont High School senior and injured five people. Kelsey R. Minor, 20, was ordered to serve 30 days in the Montgomery County Jail and spend five years on probation, according to the Montgomery County Prosecutor's Office. She also must complete 500 hours of community service and had her driver's license suspended for three years. If she violates the terms of her probation, Minor will face nine months to three years in prison. Minor pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated vehicular homicide on May 8. Three counts of vehicular assault were dismissed. The prosecution sought the maximum sentence of three years and a lifetime suspension of her driver's license. In a sentencing memo Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Matthew DeRosa noted Minor was driving 74 miles per hour on Salem Avenue in a 35 miles per hour zone. A blood draw at the hospital also showed Minor had alcohol in her blood, according to the memo. "Her actions constitute the worst form of the offense," DeRosa wrote. "A sentence of 36 months and lifetime license suspension is the only way to protect the community from future criminal acts of defendant and deter her from further criminal action." The defense sought community control sanctions, noting she had no driving violations prior to and after the crash. Attorney Anthony A. Abboud wrote Minor's decisions that night have haunted her. "Kelsey struggled to grapple with the loss of her friend due to her actions that night," a sentencing memo read. "She has carried guilt, remorse and regret to this day. Kelsey understood her choices that night not only impacted her life, but her family's life, her friend's life and most importantly the family of Christopher Gwynne." Minor wrote a letter to Judge Steven K. Dankof saying there isn't a day she doesn't think of the crash. "I never would intentionally hurt anyone," she wrote. "Losing Chris has caused so much pain, depression, regret. I would never want anyone to go through the pain his family and mine have gone through. Around 1:30 a.m. on April 30, 2023, Minor was driving a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt on Salem Avenue near Harvard Boulevard when she lost control, according to a crash report. The car began to spin and went off the right side of the road before hitting an RTA pole. Minor had five passengers in the car, including four people in the back row. Chris Gwynne, 19, of Englewood, was in the middle of the back seat, and died at the scene. Minor and the other four passengers were transported to Miami Valley Hospital with injuries.
