Family morning teen girl killed by driver in downtown Minneapolis hit-and-run

A Twin Cities family is mourning the loss of a teenager- the victim of a hit-and-run in downtown Minneapolis over the weekend. Video shows a car driving through a crowd of people at a busy intersection on Hennepin Avenue. Family members say 16-year-old De'Miaya Broome died. Five others were hurt. John Lauritsen talked with Broome's family about how they're remembering her.

😮 Morning?? Try mourning, please.

Downtown Minneapolis is a good place to avoid -- especially at night.

And if ya can't mind your own business

Anytime after 9am actually. Unless you are a super criminal working for Ellisons / Feds AntiFa or DFL

What are 14,15, and 16 year olds doing out running around at that time.

[@LynnDeatherage-q3k]

Yes they were out late that early morning 🌅🌄. Blame the driver who hit her and four other's okay.

Um, I have four kids in their twenties. Downtown after midnight, 16 years old! Looks like another kid doing what they want. As much as people want to believe that African-Americans are predominantly at-risk because of non-African-Americans, that’s just not how statistics play out. Society is in free fall, especially this community. My sympathies to those who knew and loved the girl.

Just because you've lost all credibility as a news organization 3.5 years ago, can you at least proofread your headlines?

[@independent-ts6ys]

Condolences to the beautiful gal's family 😢🙏

Don't you have an editor, its mourning.

[@Frost-gf7wq]

All it takes is a degree in social justice to write headlines at WCCO these days.
R.I.P. English if "journalists" can't get it right.

this is unfortunate, BUT what are underage teens being out at 1220 am.

[@allknight7905]

De-escalation skills are just beyond some people.. and now I suppose, the cities police will be sued for not enforcing curfew laws.

[@LynnDeatherage-q3k]

I'm sorry that your pretty daughter 😗🎉❤ at 16yrs old. Love ❤️😘💕 and prayers 💜💓 for you and your family and friends.

Tragic. Parents have to do a better job, understanding who and where your children preference. This tragedy was 100% avoidable. Rest easy young one. 🙏
