A Minnesota woman who was accused of intentionally driving her SUV into a crowd of people, killing one of them, has pleaded guilty to the crime.

A announcement from the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office confirmed that 23-year-old Latalia Margalli pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree unintentional murder and five counts of second-degree assault. According to court records, Margalli entered her plea on Tuesday and is set to be sentenced on June 24.

This conviction followed several months after the September 2024 incident, which included a physical conflict involving Margalli and her victims, among them 16-year-old De’Miaya Broome, who tragically died that night due to Margalli’s actions.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by KMSP, a local Fox affiliate, Margalli was part of a fight with a group of people in the early morning hours of Sept. 14, 2024. Broome was part of that group, along with two 14-year-old girls, a 24-year-old man, a 28-year-old man, and a 29-year-old woman. The confrontation escalated and eventually became physical.

At some point, Margalli left and got into her SUV. But rather than drive away from the fray, police said that she turned her vehicle to head the wrong way and “drove directly into the crowd of people, without [braking], and struck numerous people, including [the] victim,” according to the complaint.
