Sisters’ Street Race Kills 3 Fayetteville High School Players

Two sisters, 21-year-old Dymond Monroe and 19-year-old Destini Rhinada Genwright, were involved in a street racing incident in Fayetteville, North Carolina, that resulted in a tragic crash killing three high school football players: Jai’Hyon Elliott, Trevor Merritt, and Nick Williams. Monroe was driving a 2024 Honda Civic and suffered critical injuries, while Genwright was driving a 2023 Dodge Charger and initially fled the scene but later surrendered to authorities. Both sisters face multiple charges, including racing, reckless and careless driving, speeding, insurance violations, and Monroe faces three felony counts of involuntary manslaughter. Investigators confirmed that excessive speed was a factor, with Genwright allegedly driving 76 mph in a 45 mph zone, and Monroe had previously been ticketed for speeding on the same road. The community and first responders were deeply affected by the incident, which happened as the students were heading to a birthday party. The case remains under investigation with ongoing legal proceedings against the sisters.
