A courtroom appearance on Wednesday marked the next chapter for one of the two sisters implicated in a tragic car accident earlier this month that claimed the lives of three high school football players.

Authorities have identified 21-year-old Dymond Monroe and 19-year-old Destini Genwright as the individuals involved in the incident. The two were reportedly racing to their younger brother’s 18th birthday celebration on October 8 when Monroe’s Honda Civic veered off the road, resulting in the deaths of three passengers, according to WTVD.

Court records reveal that Monroe was traveling at 76 mph in a 45 mph zone at the crash’s time, which occurred shortly after football practice that day. Both sisters were allegedly racing in separate vehicles.

Genwright appeared in court to hear the charges against her and is scheduled to return in December. She faces four misdemeanor charges: willful speed competition, speeding, careless and reckless driving, and an insurance violation, as stated by the Fayetteville Police Department. She has been released on a $10,000 bond.

Meanwhile, Monroe, who suffered critical injuries during the crash, remains hospitalized. Her charges include the same misdemeanors as her sister, along with three felony counts of involuntary manslaughter.

The accident resulted in the deaths of 18-year-old Jai-Hyon Elliot, 17-year-old Nicholas Williams, and 17-year-old Trevor Merritt. All three victims were students and football players at E.E. Smith High School in Fayetteville.

“I hope that it is an ever-present reminder for the individuals when they’re driving — don’t do something that can result in you being hurt, a friend or a family member being injured, or, unfortunately, what we see when we lost three young lives two weeks ago,” Assistant Fayetteville Police Chief Todd Joyce told WTVD.
