Chavira is charged with collision involving death following the April 6 crash along the 6300 block of North Desert Boulevard, according to El Paso Police.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nChavira told an officer she had been drinking at the Hope and Anchor bar with her “sugar daddy,” where she had four alcoholic drinks. <\/p>\n
While driving herself home, she rear-ended Andrade. According to documents, she walked over to the rear-ended vehicle and said, “it looked bad” and “believed the other person was dead.”<\/p>\n
Witnesses told police Andrade was found slumped over in his vehicle and said he could not feel anything before being taken to the hospital, where he later died.<\/p>\n
The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission has opened an investigation into the Hope and Anchor bar to determine whether alcohol was served to a minor.<\/p>\n
Jail records showed Chavira was released on a 100,000 dollar surety bond following her arrest.<\/p>\n
The law firm, which represents Andrade\u2019s family, said its focus is now on identifying the man Chavira referred to as her \u201csugar daddy.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are asking for the community\u2019s help today in relation to this accident that could have been totally preventable,\u201d Stephanie Zaragoza, an attorney with Cesar Ornelas Injury Law, said.<\/p>\n
Attorneys said identifying the man is critical as they work to determine what led up to the crash and who may be held responsible in civil proceedings.<\/p>\n
Zaragoza said any potential criminal charges against the unidentified man would be up to prosecutors, but emphasized the firm is focused on pursuing accountability on behalf of Andrade\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe do believe that any adult who provides alcohol to a minor should be held liable, but that would be up to the DA\u2019s office,\u201d Zaragoza said.<\/p>\n
The firm is also encouraging anyone who was at the bar that night to come forward with information, particularly if they observed signs of intoxication.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are reaching out to the community,\u201d Zaragoza said. \u201cIf she was clearly drunk, if she was clearly overserved, please come forward because that information is going to be vital.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zaragoza described Andrade\u2019s family as devastated following his death. She said he is survived by his wife and daughter and was returning home from work at the time of the crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs you can imagine, nothing is ever going to get his life back, so they are devastated, they are heartbroken, and they do not have answers,\u201d Zaragoza said.<\/p>\n
The crash remains under investigation, including a separate review by the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission into whether alcohol was improperly served to a minor.<\/p>\n
Zaragoza said the firm plans to cooperate with investigators as they continue gathering information.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an ongoing investigation, which is why we are reaching out to the community,\u201d Zaragoza said. \u201cThere are still a lot of questions that need to be answered.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added the firm hopes community members will come forward to help provide clarity and accountability in the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to bring justice to Mr. Andrade\u2019s family, and we will work towards that with the help of the community,\u201d Zaragoza said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) \u2013 A law firm representing the family of a man killed in a West…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":245330,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[138,140,139],"class_list":{"0":"post-245329","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-el-paso","8":"tag-el-paso","9":"tag-el-paso-headlines","10":"tag-el-paso-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245329","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=245329"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/245329\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=245329"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=245329"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=245329"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
