An online fundraiser for the family of 5-year-old De’arri Shula, the Richmond girl killed Sunday in a crash that seriously injured another child on state Highway 4 in Martinez, had raised more than $10,000 as of Wednesday evening.
The California Highway Patrol arrested 32-year-old Shakela Janey Dominick on suspicion of manslaughter and driving under the influence after she crashed her gray Honda CR-V into a tree near Morello Avenue. De’arri was pronounced dead at the scene.
A Contra Costa County District Attorney’s Office spokesperson said Wednesday morning prosecutors were expecting a referral from the CHP on charges for Dominick later that afternoon.
Dominick suffered moderate injuries and was taken to a hospital Sunday along with another child in the vehicle. Dominick was arrested at the hospital.
