A black 2017 GMC Yukon was attempting a left turn from southbound Nogales Highway onto eastbound Drexel. A 2018 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by Fuentes, traveling north on Nogales, hit the GMC. The driver of the GMC was cited for failure to yield.

Now that Fuentes has died, the police Traffic Investigations Unit is reviewing the case. The original civil traffic charge will be dismissed in lieu of possible criminal charges, police said.
