Hennepin County Attorney’s Office adds murder charges in fatal 2024 crash

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office added two charges of third-degree murder against Teniki Latrice Steward, 39, for her role in the deaths of Rose Lobley and Esther Fulks and severe injury to a minor victim in a December 2024 crash.

Ms. Steward was originally charged with two counts of criminal vehicular homicide and two counts of criminal vehicular operation.

“This was an egregious act that took Rose and Esther’s lives and injured a child waiting to go to school at a bus stop,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty said. “Ms. Steward was driving at extremely dangerous speeds on city streets and narrowly avoided multiple collisions before the incident occurred. Third-degree murder charges are appropriate to hold her accountable and protect our community.”

Case Number: 27-CR-24-29052
