Two other women were sent to the hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You were arrested for one count of the vehicular homicide in a reckless manner. This is from September 14 of 2025,&#8221; said Miami-Dade circuit judge Mindy Glazer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He appeared before a Miami-Dade judge on Thursday, months after police say he was driving a motorcycle with three passengers on it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand how you can get four people on a motorcycle,&#8221; said a prosecutor during the bond hearing.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the arrest affidavit, it says Leal Ayola was on the bike with Plasencia and two other females traveling eastbound on the northwest 58th street and the 826.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Doral police officers spotted the motorcycle, which they say had just been involved in a hit-and-run crash.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When officers tried to pull the bike over, they said the driver took off with the three passengers.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, investigators say he ran a red light and collided with a Buick on Northwest 72nd Avenue, sending everyone airborne and Plasencia into a nearby canal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He caused a crash that resulted in the death of Ms. Angelina Plasencia. There&#8217;s probably calls for vehicular homicide. He doesn&#8217;t even have a motorcycle endorsement. He shouldn&#8217;t be riding a motorcycle. He&#8217;s fleeing from the police. I don&#8217;t know why he isn&#8217;t charged with fleeing,&#8221; said Gazer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Leal Ayola&#8217;s mother appeared in court and asked the judge to appoint a public defender.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The judge gave him a bond of $15,000, which he has posted, and ordered him to surrender all his travel documents.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man has been arrested and charged with vehicular homicide, months after an 18-year-old woman was discovered dead&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[14180,123,125,124,1064],"class_list":{"0":"post-80747","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-miami","8":"tag-doral","9":"tag-miami","10":"tag-miami-headlines","11":"tag-miami-news","12":"tag-miami-dade"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
