TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – A second suspect has been arrested after a high-speed crash at Valencia and Country Club in Tucson killed a young girl on Friday, April 10.
On Monday, April 13, the Tucson Police Department said a 16-year-old boy was arrested on charges of second-degree murder, endangerment, and aggravated assault.
The TPD said that the suspect, who has not been identified, was driving the 2014 Dodge Charger connected to the crash. The TPD said the vehicle was found at a Tucson home on April 12, and the teen was taken into custody.
For the second time in little more than a month, authorities responded to a high-speed fatal crash at Valencia and Country Club in Tucson.
22-year-old Christian Isaiah Randall had already been arrested on charges of second-degree murder, endangerment, and aggravated assault for the April 10 crash. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.
“In the last five years, we have prosecuted and closed far too many tragic vehicular cases,” said Pima County Attorney Laura Conover. “And, through public service announcements, safe driving campaigns, and substantial prison sentences, we have sent the message: if you choose excessive speed, if you have modified your car, if you are on our streets racing, you will be held to account for the harm you cause, including homicide. To all the family and friends out there, you know who that young man (99% of these drivers) is in your life who is obsessed with speed and has modified their car. Sit down and have the hard talk with them tonight, please.”

According to the interim complaint obtained by 13 News, Randall admitted he was speeding but claimed he was not street racing and was simply going with the flow of traffic. He said he was late for a pre-employment drug test for a job, but also admitted to smoking marijuana the night before.
According to data from Randall’s vehicle, he was doing 87 mph before impact. The speed limit at the intersection is only 45 mph.
13 News investigated Randall’s driving history and found several citations over the last few years.
In February 2026, he was cited by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for no insurance, passing in a no-passing zone, displaying a false plate, and driving on a suspended license.In May 2025, he was cited by the University of Arizona Police Department for failure to obey a traffic control device and displaying a suspended plate.In February 2025, he was cited by the TPD for speeding.In December 2025, he was cited by the TPD for speeding, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for no registration, and the Arizona DPS for no seat belt and no registration.In October 2025, he was cited by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for speeding (more than 41 mph over the limit) and having no registration.In June 2022, he was cited by the Arizona DPS for not wearing a seat belt.In March 2022, he was cited by the TPD for obedience required.In November 2022, he was cited by the TPD for speeding.
The TPD said Randall and the 16-year-old-old were speeding when they caused a crash that split a Toyota Camry in half around 1 p.m. on April 10.
A 3-year-old girl, whose family identified as Anna, was in a car seat in the back of the Camry. The TPD said she was properly restrained, but she was killed.
Randall suffered only minor injuries and was booked after his release. The other driver, the 16-year-old, fled the scene and was not injured.
Samantha Bracamonte reached out to 13 News and said her sister-in-law was driving the Camry and that her 3-year-old niece, Anna, was killed.
Bracamonte said her sister-in-law is nine months pregnant and is in the hospital being treated for her injuries.
She set up a GoFundMe for the family, and it raised nearly $88,000 by 8 p.m. Monday.
In an interview with 13 News, Bracamonte said Anna’s death has been devastating.
“This was so preventable, she didn’t need to die that way, this didn’t need to happen,” Bracamonte said.
She also started a petition asking for legislation that would impose stricter penalties on drivers caught street racing. She believes Anna’s death was reckless and avoidable, and said greater consequences could deter street racers from the activity.
“I think that people get a slap on the wrist and they’re not being held accountable, and if something was done prior, this could’ve been prevented, and we wouldn’t have lost her,” Bracamonte said.
She wants it to be called Anna’s Law, and is hoping to get the attention of lawmakers to increase penalties specifically for deaths in crashes caused by street racing.
“We’re fighting for Anna, but we’re also fighting for all of the children in Tucson and all of the families so that what we’re going through doesn’t ever have to happen to another family again, so that no one has to feel the pain that we’re feeling right now,” she said.
The petition for Anna’s Law has been signed by 14,660 people as of 7 p.m. Monday.
There will be a balloon release for Anna at 2420 South Kino Parkway at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16.
Friday’s accident was the second high-speed fatal crash at that intersection in weeks, and nearby businesses are worried it will keep happening despite more speeding enforcement in the area.
On March 1, three people were killed, and another suffered life-threatening injuries in a crash at the intersection that the Tucson Police Department said was caused by street racers.
While at the scene Friday afternoon, a 13 News photographer saw a memorial to the people killed on March 1 right next to the carnage from the recent accident.

Businesses in the area that 13 News has talked with said street racing and high-speed crashes are nothing new to them.
“It’s pretty terrifying, man. Honestly,” said Frank Bustamante, who manages the nearby BrakeMax. “All we heard was, I mean, the amount of force that was with that crash, man, you could actually hear it from inside, even being in the building.”
Bustamante said speeding has become a constant on Valencia.
“ It’s actually quite often, man, honestly, you know, even being inside, we hear the cars zooming by, we see them too. You know, it’s just. It. People really need to slow down, honestly,” he said.
In the March accident, 20-year-old Ashtyn Vandersloot, 20-year-old Antonio Olalde, and 18-year-old Grace Hobbs died. Vandersloot was the driver, and according to his toxicology report, he was drunk (.113 BAC) and had marijuana in his system.

Olalde (.108 BAC) and Hobbs (.139 BAC) were also legally drunk, according to their reports. Olalde also had cocaine in his system.
The TPD said Vandersloot was likely racing another vehicle, and authorities are asking for help to find the other vehicle, which has not been identified.
The TPD has asked for help identifying the vehicles and drivers from both fatal incidents. Anyone with information should call 911 or 88-CRIME.
Following the March 1 crash, the Tucson Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies launched a major deployment on the road. The TPD said hundreds of people were cited or arrested.
Arizona DPS said in just one day in late March, troopers arrested eight people and gave out 197 speeding tickets.
With the second deadly crash there in just weeks, Bustamante is hoping for more enforcement to prevent scenes like the brutality on Friday from happening again.
“I think more frequent cop patrolling or even just motorcycle patrols to go and catch speeders,” he said. “You know, I mean that that’ll help the safety of everybody on the streets.”
