Man Convicted in Fatal Redwood City Street Race Dies in Jail

Kyle Harrison, a 25-year-old man convicted of vehicular manslaughter in a street racing incident that resulted in the deaths of a couple, was found dead in his jail cell at the Maple Street Correctional Center in Redwood City on March 15. Harrison was serving an eight-year sentence for the November 2022 crash that left twin girls orphaned after their parents were killed when another vehicle, driven by a teenager, collided with their car. The circumstances of Harrison's death are under investigation by the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office, Coroner's Office, and sheriff's detectives, with no cause of death released yet. At the time of his death, Harrison was in the general population housing pod and had been found unresponsive shortly after a routine safety check. He had previously pleaded no contest to charges related to the crash, while the teenage driver involved received a lesser sentence. A wrongful death lawsuit has also been filed against several parties connected to the incident.
