The victim had been trying to break up a fight.
A fight, I suspect, that also involved people with a certain skin color.
NOLA:
New Orleans police have arrested the driver accused of killing a woman by intentionally hitting her with a vehicle on a French Quarter street.
Asrielle Wise, 25, was booked with second-degree murder and obstruction of justice after she surrendered to authorities Thursday, NOPD said.
Investigators allege that Wise was the woman behind the wheel of a gray Hyundai Sonata that intentionally backed into Amber Mello, 55, of Massachusetts, as Mello tried to break up a fight in the 700 block of St. Louis Street just after midnight on March 16.
The then-unidentified driver hit another vehicle before speeding away from the scene, authorities said.
Mello, who was vacationing in town with her husband and friends, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three days later, NOPD released images of the suspect vehicle and a woman considered a person of interest.

Wise was being held Monday at the Orleans Parish Prison in lieu of a $205,000 bond.
