Arrest Made In Riley Rawlins Death

As you know, Monica’s and Chris’ son and youthful Bigfooter Riley Rawlins’ death has been a subject of some concern here.

Now news has broken:

The suspect in the January 7, 2012, fatality accident, in which Riley Rawlins was killed while crossing the road at 9900 Royal Lane, was arrested at her home today and transported to Lew Sterrett Jail. She has been identified as Soraya Villanueva L/M/7-25-93. She will be charged with Criminally Negligent Homicide with a bond set at $125,000.

Once again, I want to take a personal moment to ask us all to hug our children, and mourn for the loss of Riley. The victims of loss never forget.

Today is another of my son’s days of birth, and I send out another covert Happy Birthday to Desmond (43), and his family. Yes, I have three sons from my two marriages, born on Feb. 3rd, Feb. 4th, and Feb. 11th.
