,1,(30 Nov 2018) A woman who drove her SUV over a New York mother saluted by President Donald Trump for her crusade against MS-13 gang violence has pleaded not guilty to criminally negligent homicide.
Fifty-eight-year-old Annmarie Drago surrendered to police in the morning and appeared in court in Long Island on Friday.
Prosecutors say Evelyn Rodriguez was killed as she angrily confronted Drago for trashing a memorial set up for the anniversary of her daughter's death.
Drago also faces charges of criminal mischief and petit larceny in the Sept. 14 confrontation that led to the death of Evelyn Rodriguez, who became a symbol in the fight against gang violence after her 16-year-old daughter, Kayla Cuevas, was hacked and beaten to death along with a friend on a suburban Long Island street.
