Racine police officers were called to a home on Sunday after receiving reports of a "vehicle vs. pedestrian accident with injuries," according to a Facebook post by the Racine Police Department. When they arrived, they found 26-year-old Darius Allen dead.<\/p>\n
The woman accused in his death, 22-year-old Adasia Jones, is now charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, lawandcrime.com reported, citing court records.<\/p>\n
According to police, Jones had shown up at Allen's house in the middle of the night to discuss "relationship issues." The two argued, and at some point, Jones allegedly got into her vehicle and ran over Allen.<\/p>\n
Investigators have not released further details about the argument or what led to the fatal incident. The Racine County Sheriff's Office released a booking photo of Jones, who is being held in connection with the case.<\/p>\n
Jones is charged with homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, which under Wisconsin law can apply when a driver causes a death while under the influence of an intoxicant. It is not yet known whether Jones had been drinking or using drugs at the time, and police have not said what evidence led to this specific charge.<\/p>\n
The charge is a felony. At this stage, Jones is only accused \u2014 she has not been convicted, and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.<\/p>\n
What remains unknown: the exact sequence of events outside Allen's home, whether there were witnesses, and what toxicology results may show. Police have not said whether Jones remained at the scene or was arrested later.<\/p>\n
Allen's death has shaken the neighborhood in Racine, a city on the shores of Lake Michigan. News footage from WTMJ showed the quiet residential street where the incident occurred, but no further details about Allen's life or family have been released.<\/p>\n
Jones is scheduled to appear in court for her initial appearance, where formal charges will be read and bail will be considered. The next hearing is expected to determine how the case proceeds.<\/p>\n
For now, the case rests on what police say happened in the early hours of Sunday morning \u2014 and on a charge that will be tested in court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
