At Rest

Pursuit
John Owa sped away on 49th Street N when a Pinellas sheriff's deputy tried to pull him over. Owa's car T-boned a Ford Mustang driven by Donald Young, killing him. Court records show Owa pleaded guilty to several charges, including vehicular homicide, and was sentenced to 9 and a half years in prison. Young's family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit declaring the police pursuit was unnecessary and dangerous.
This record exists so that Donald Young, and all who are named in this archive, are never reduced to a number.
More lives from the archive.
