Authorities in Portland, Oregon, are actively searching for a woman they allege was “extremely intoxicated” when she collided head-on with another vehicle, resulting in the tragic death of her young son.

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office has issued a felony warrant for 29-year-old Angelina Minor, charging her with first-degree manslaughter. According to a statement released this week, Minor violated the terms of her supervised release, prompting the warrant.

The incident occurred on March 20, 2024, around 9 p.m., when Minor was driving a black 2011 Hyundai Elantra sedan in north Portland. With her in the car was a male passenger, along with his 4-year-old daughter, Minor’s 3-year-old daughter, and her 4-year-old son, Kingsten Coston, who were seated in the back.

The Portland Police Bureau reports that Minor was initially involved in a collision with a red 2024 Scion XB on North Lombard Street and North Richmond Avenue. Although this crash did not result in injuries, Minor allegedly failed to stop and exchange information, leading the other driver to follow her.

Continuing about half a mile from the initial incident, Minor reportedly drove over a median into oncoming traffic on North Fessenden Street. She continued this dangerous path until she reached North Mohawk Avenue, where she collided head-on with a silver 2022 Tesla Model S.

Kingsten suffered critical injuries, and despite efforts by bystanders and paramedics performing CPR, he was later pronounced dead. Minor, alongside her adult passenger, her 3-year-old daughter, and his 4-year-old daughter, were taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

The driver of the Scion was unhurt, and the driver of the Tesla was injured but declined to be transported by an ambulance, authorities added.

Investigators determined that Minor was drunk and speeding at the time of the fatal crash. She was booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on the manslaughter charge as well as third-degree assault, driving under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, failure to perform the duties of a driver, and three counts of recklessly endangering another person.

“The driver was extremely intoxicated and had been going well above the posted speed limit, so this crash absolutely involves extreme intoxication and speeding,” Lieutenant Ty Engstrom of the Portland Police Bureau told local NBC affiliate KGW at the time.

In a GoFundMe seeking help with Kingsten’s funeral expenses, the fundraiser said his death left “a void that can never be filled.”
