Suspect arrested in connection with south Fort Worth triple fatality crash
A 41-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with the April 5 south Fort Worth car crash that killed three people and injured five. Brian Hoy was booked into the Fort Worth City Jail on Friday, April 11, according to police records. Officers were called to 700 W. Risinger Road about 4 a.m. in response to a multi-vehicle crash, according to a police spokesperson. Three people, including 19-year-old Fort Worth women Taunya Freeman and Kianna White, died at the scene. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner hasn't publicly identified the third victim. Kianna's sister, 18-year-old Kiarra White, was in the same vehicle as her sister and Freeman. She was hospitalized in the ICU, according to a GoFundMe. Four other people received minor injuries in the crash, according to MedStar. Two were taken to hospitals and two were treated and released at the scene. Police said they were actively investigating the cause of the fatal pileup crash, which occurred near railroad tracks but didn't involve a train. Family members told Star-Telegram media partner WFAA-TV that Freeman dreamed of a career as an ultrasound tech. She was working toward getting her own place to live, and she had a lot of goals for her life. 'She was a well-mannered child,' the teen's grandmother Taunya Sims told WFAA. 'She was sweet as she could be, soft-spoken. She loved her brothers and sisters, loved her mom, her dad. She was a good person.' Freeman's mother has started a GoFundMe to help cover her daughter's funeral expenses. 'My heart is shattered,' she said in the fundraiser. Kianna White was the mother of two toddlers. Her family described her in their GoFundMe as 'a bright spark in this world.' 'Kianna was known for her beautiful personality, always welcoming wherever she went, always with a big smile,' the fundraiser states. 'She was the kind of person who would give anybody her last. She was a loving daughter, sister, niece, cousin, but most importantly, a mother.' Hoy was being held in the Tarrant County Jail on a $60,000 bond as of Saturday, April 12. He faces a charge of aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury and two counts of manslaughter. It's not clear if Hoy has obtained an attorney. According to court records, Hoy received nine months of probation with deferred adjudication in a previous reckless driving case after he was arrested by Hurst police in 2019. That case, which involved a misdemeanor charge, was dismissed in 2022 after he completed the terms of his probation, records show. 🚨 More top stories from our newsroom: → Two crash victims identified as 19-year-old Fort Worth women → Athletes will risk it all for glory at the American Rodeo → Robber steals $7K wedding ring from woman on morning walk [Get our breaking news alerts.]
