Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 80698, member: 636"] A TikToker killed a guy during a livestream. Tynesha McCarty-Wroten, known as Tea Tyme online, got arrested in Zion, Illinois. Cops charged her with reckless homicide and using a device while driving. She allegedly struck and killed Darren Lucas, aged fifty-nine, who was crossing the street. This happened while she was broadcasting live on TikTok from her account Tea_Tyme_3. Her vehicle reportedly ran a red light. An eight-year-old child was in the car at the time. The whole mess went down one evening in November. Darren Lucas was walking home from his job at a grocery store. Zion Police and Fire crews responded to the incident. Lucas later died at Vista Medical Center. McCarty-Wroten stayed there after hitting him. Internet users quickly sent investigators recordings from her live stream. That video apparently captured the moment. You can hear a loud thud, then her screaming about hitting someone. She tried to stop the police from checking her phone at first. Forensic examiners eventually confirmed the app was active during the crash. Local business security video showed her car speeding through a red signal without slowing down. Things look really bad for the content creator. Authorities arrested her at her home as she was leaving with luggage. This occurred after the Lake County State's Attorney approved a warrant. Before her arrest, she had reportedly asked her followers for cash donations. She wanted money for a mental health break from making videos. She is currently in custody awaiting further legal proceedings. The case shows the extreme dangers of filming and driving for online attention. [/QUOTE]
