Multiple sources are reporting that police in Menifee responded to a report of a burglary in progress on the 27000 block of Hemingway Court around 4:54 pm Monday.
A car driven by a woman believed to be involved in the burglary was seen leaving the area, and fled when the cops attempted to pull her over.
The driver was headed west on Holland Road at a high rate of speed when she ran the red light at Holland and Evans Road, striking the boy, who was riding north on Evans Road.
The victim, identified as 13-year-old Menifee resident Cody Villatoro, died at the scene, despite the efforts of police and paramedics.
The driver continued to flee until her car became disabled, at which point police arrested the woman, 21-year old Temecula resident Melody Valdez, on suspicion of evading police and homicide, among other charges.
So let’s repeat. Villatoro was riding with the green light, and apparently did nothing wrong other than share the planet with a driver wanted by police for a nonviolent property crime. But now he’s dead, because of a driver’s bad decision to flee and the cops’ choice to continue the chase.



I am sure they sided with the cops or the lady right?
They called out for the lady to be executed by the state.
Why is that a bad thing? She viciously killed a child and kept driving. Oh that’s right, you protect predators. Keep living on your high horse. 😂😂
See you don’t know anything about the woman, its not like she murdered the kid. It was an accident induced by the police chase even though they have high tech bullshit to follow up on her.
Its not up to the judge to just fucking kill a person, most of the time there are some underlying psychological or in this case maybe systemic issues that can be solved. Resocialising the people and turning them into active tax payers makes more sense in the long run.
The accident was induced by the police? NO THE ACCIDENT WAS INDUCED BY HER FLEEING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WITH TOTAL DISREGARD FOR SAFETY. AFTER SHE HIT THE KID SHE DRAGGED HIS BODY AND KEPT ON GOING LIKE A FUCKING DEMON!
SO YEA I’LL POST A FUCKING COMMENT THAT SHE SHOULD BE KILLED. FUCKING EVIL PEOPLE
If she would not have been chased through the street with a car but instead tracked otherwise, she would have probably not flewn through the streets herself.
In the end there was no psychological evaluation either. What happens when an american hero, a fucking war vet gets a trauma induced psychosis, cops want to take him in, he chases off, the same thing happens. Are you saying they should put him to death instead of treating him?
I fucking live in this SHITHOLE COUNTRY USA. People drive cars recklessly around me and my kid all the time. If somebody hits my kid I will kill them. I don’t give a fuck if they are a war vet or a 16 year old. They are dead. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A FUCKING CAR DOESN’T MEAN YOU GET TO KILL FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH REASONS WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. FUCK THAT BULLSHIT AND FUCK CARS AND FUCK PEOPLE KILLING KIDS WITH THEIR CARS. MAYBE IF WE KILLED DRIVERS RIGHT AWAY THEY WOULDN’T BE SUCH RECKLESS FUCKS. BUT NO WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DRIVE LIKE ABSOLUTE MORONS. WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEY DESERVE TO DRIVE 100mph on a street full of kids. FUCK THAT
