Latoya Powels, the mother of a 6-month-old boy who was killed in a crash allegedly caused by a hit-and-run driver is now also facing manslaughter charges.
Powels, 40, has been charged with involuntary manslaughter, three counts of second-degree child abuse, operating while intoxicated, and operating while intoxicated — high blood alcohol content.
Last week the infant’s mother, 40-year-old Latoya Powels, called on Detroit police to find the hit-and-run driver who police say failed to stop at a stop sign, resulting in a crash that killed her infant son and injured two of her other children.
The alleged hit and run driver, 31-year-old Deandre Cody, was also charged in the case but not with Involuntary Manslaughter. He’s charged with leaving the scene of an accident causing death, driving with a suspended license and other counts facing up to 15 years in prison.
