(13 News) &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIn the last five years, we have prosecuted and closed far too many tragic vehicular cases,\u201d said Pima County Attorney Laura Conover. \u201cAnd, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"  \" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/4DO4VZO6YRETPFOWIZ6XRQPCAY.jpg\" width=\"980\" height=\"534\" \/>  (13 News)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">According to data from Randall\u2019s vehicle, he was doing 87 mph before impact. The speed limit at the intersection is only 45 mph.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">13 News investigated Randall\u2019s driving history and found several citations over the last few years.<\/p>\n<p>In February 2026, he was cited by the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">A 3-year-old girl, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/supporting-annas-family-after-tragic-loss\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/supporting-annas-family-after-tragic-loss\">whose family identified as Anna<\/a>, was in a car seat in the back of the Camry. The TPD said she was properly restrained, but she was killed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Bracamonte said her sister-in-law is nine months pregnant and is in the hospital being treated for her injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">She set up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/supporting-annas-family-after-tragic-loss\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/f\/supporting-annas-family-after-tragic-loss\">GoFundMe<\/a> for the family, and it raised nearly $88,000 by 8 p.m. Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">In an interview with 13 News, Bracamonte said Anna\u2019s death has been devastating. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThis was so preventable, she didn\u2019t need to die that way, this didn\u2019t need to happen,\u201d Bracamonte said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">She also started a petition asking for legislation that would impose stricter penalties on drivers caught street racing. She believes Anna\u2019s death was reckless and avoidable, and said greater consequences could deter street racers from the activity. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cI think that people get a slap on the wrist and they\u2019re not being held accountable, and if something was done prior, this could\u2019ve been prevented, and we wouldn\u2019t have lost her,\u201d Bracamonte said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">She wants it to be called Anna\u2019s Law, and is hoping to get the attention of lawmakers to increase penalties specifically for deaths in crashes caused by street racing. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cWe\u2019re fighting for Anna, but we\u2019re also fighting for all of the children in Tucson and all of the families so that what we\u2019re going through doesn\u2019t ever have to happen to another family again, so that no one has to feel the pain that we\u2019re feeling right now,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The petition for <a href=\"https:\/\/sign.moveon.org\/petitions\/anna-s-law?source=rawlink&amp;utm_source=rawlink&amp;share=3287be63-2849-4b2f-a79d-8005de8d820f&amp;fbclid=IwY2xjawRKC9BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeLA2v9XB17U536-eu1DceeFw0AgGlaSD7ZL3i2PSjx1mnNKGFQ7qUCXri8M4_aem_6Pvr7UqX94_hsYalehxsVg\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/sign.moveon.org\/petitions\/anna-s-law?source=rawlink&amp;utm_source=rawlink&amp;share=3287be63-2849-4b2f-a79d-8005de8d820f&amp;fbclid=IwY2xjawRKC9BleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEeLA2v9XB17U536-eu1DceeFw0AgGlaSD7ZL3i2PSjx1mnNKGFQ7qUCXri8M4_aem_6Pvr7UqX94_hsYalehxsVg\">Anna\u2019s Law<\/a> has been signed by 14,660 people as of 7 p.m. Monday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">There will be a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1LcZoEGo9V\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/share\/p\/1LcZoEGo9V\/\">balloon release<\/a> for Anna at 2420 South Kino Parkway at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Friday\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">On March 1, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kold.com\/2026\/03\/02\/tucson-police-investigating-deadly-crash-near-valencia-country-club\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.kold.com\/2026\/03\/02\/tucson-police-investigating-deadly-crash-near-valencia-country-club\/\">three people were killed, and another suffered life-threatening injuries<\/a> in a crash at the intersection that the Tucson Police Department said was caused by street racers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"The debris from Friday's fatal accident at Valencia and Country Club rests next to the...\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/KMBLFWA42RAFDM3RS5Y7CZKG34.jpg\" width=\"980\" height=\"623\" \/>The debris from Friday&#8217;s fatal accident at Valencia and Country Club rests next to the memorial for the three victims killed there on March 1.(13 News)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Businesses in the area that 13 News has talked with said street racing and high-speed crashes are nothing new to them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt\u2019s pretty terrifying, man. Honestly,\u201d said Frank Bustamante, who manages the nearby BrakeMax. \u201cAll 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.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Bustamante said speeding has become a constant on Valencia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">&#8220;\u200aIt\u2019s actually quite often, man, honestly, you know, even being inside, we hear the cars zooming by, we see them too.

Vandersloot was the driver, and according to his toxicology report, he was drunk (.113 BAC) and had marijuana in his system.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure-img img-fluid mx-auto d-block\" alt=\"Three people were killed, and another person suffered life-threatening injuries in a...\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ODOQJTCCYFGYVDOHYAI5M6SIPA.jpg\" width=\"980\" height=\"551\" \/>Three people were killed, and another person suffered life-threatening injuries in a two-vehicle crash connected to street racing in Tucson late Sunday, March 1.(13 News)<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Olalde (.108 BAC) and Hobbs (.139 BAC) were also legally drunk, according to their reports. Olalde also had cocaine in his system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The TPD has asked for help identifying the vehicles and drivers from both fatal incidents. Anyone with information should call 911 or 88-CRIME.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Following the March 1 crash, the Tucson Police Department and other local law enforcement agencies launched a major deployment on the road.
