Minneapolis woman, 21, is jailed for 15 years for having street race with her BROTHER, 17

A Minnesota woman is getting 15 years in prison for crashing into a couple and killing them during a street race with her teenage brother. 

Camille Dennis-Bond, 21, was racing her 17-year-old brother Leon Bond on an eastbound county road at 10:30 a.m. on April 4, 2021, each with a passenger seated next to them. 

Driving ‘incredibly fast’ according to a witness, Dennis-Bond hit an SUV that as turning left from the westbound lane. 

Inside the SUV were driver Dalton Lee Ford and his girlfriend Tayler Nicole Garza, both 22 years old. 

The witness added that the vehicle ‘basically turned into powder and split in half.’ Both F the witness said. Ford and Garza were both pronounced dead at the scene. 

Leon Bond’s twin sister, who was in the passenger seat of his car, survived critical injuries throughout much of her body, the StarTribune reported, and was hospitalized nearly six weeks and needed five surgeries. 

The siblings’ cars were estimated at about 100 miles per hour – with state police determining they were going as high as 114 mph – on a 50 mph road and were described as, if not racing, involved in a road rage incident.

He eventually told police that he and his sister were at a stoplight when they decided to duke it out to see who could get to 50 fastest. 

Bond said he had noticed the SUV but thought that by racing through the intersection, he was more likely to avoid a crash. 

Camille Dennis-Bond was found guilty in mid-December of two counts of both third-degree murder and criminal vehicular homicide. She also was guilty of criminal vehicular operation and reckless driving. 

She was sentenced to 15 years in prison, but will likely receive only nine and three quarter years behind bar between time already served and supervised release. 

Brother Leon was charged as a juvenile and pleaded guilty to two counts of third-degree murder in January. The county attorney had objected to Bond being charged as a juvenile. 

Bond will serve probation until he turns 21 and is getting a long-term stay in a juvenile facility. Should he violate probation, he will automatically receive an adult sentence of 25 years in prison.

An obituary for Ford called Garza ‘the love of his life,’ while Garza’s said that the pair enjoyed ‘camping, hiking, car club and traveling adventures. 

‘They also were ‘foodies,’ and loved cooking and trying new restaurants and different foods together.’
