DEARBORN, Mich. – A 25-year-old Taylor woman has been charged in connection with a crash that killed a 33-year-old Dearborn doctor in July.
Felecia Sunshine Lazo was charged with second-degree murder in the crash that killed Dr. Ghada Mustapha.
The crash happened at about 8 a.m. on Friday, July 19, at the intersection of Michigan Avenue and Nowlin Street.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found Lazo‘s SUV overturned on the median of Michigan Avenue and Mustapha’s F-150 truck facing northbound on eastbound Michigan Avenue.
Mustapha was pronounced dead at the scene, and Lazo was taken to a local hospital.
Lazo was allegedly traveling at a high speed on eastbound Michigan Avenue when she went through the red light at Nowlin Street and crashed into Mustapha’s truck.
“It is always beyond tragic when the life of a promising young person is cut short over the horrific actions of another,” said Wayne County Prosecutor Kim Worthy. “By every account, Ghada Mustapha was a young, brilliant, and passionate doctor who was just beginning her medical career. She had hopes, dreams, and goals for herself and her family. The alleged actions of this defendant took away her life - along with those hopes, dreams, and goals.”
The defendant is scheduled to be arraigned on Thursday, Nov. 7.
