28-year old Garieon Simmons of Decherd, Tennessee will soon face the Rutherford County courts. Simmons was the driver of a stolen SUV from Coffee County who allegedly led authorities on a high speed pursuit, which began in Manchester. Simmons later crashed the SUV on South Church Street in Murfreesboro.
When Simmons crashed, he ran into the side of a vehicle being driven by Jennifer Campos. Campos was turning out of a parking lot on South Church when she was hit in the driver’s side door. Her seven-month-old daughter survived the collision, but Campos died at the scene.
Simmons, who will be arraigned in court on March 27th, will face charges of first-degree murder, aggravated vehicular homicide and felony evading charges. He is also charged with DUI, theft and aggravated vehicular homicide per DUI enhancement. (Story help from WGNS Radio)
