Sisters' Street Racing Causes Fatal Crash Killing Three High School Football Players in Fayetteville

Two sisters, Dymond Monroe and Destini Genwright, were involved in street racing on Rosehill Road in Fayetteville, North Carolina, which resulted in a crash killing three high school football players from E.E. Smith High School. Monroe, driving a 2024 Honda Civic, lost control, causing the fatal accident; she was critically injured and faces three felony counts of involuntary manslaughter along with other charges including reckless driving and speeding. Genwright, driving a 2023 Dodge Charger, was racing Monroe at speeds up to 76 mph in a 45 mph zone and turned herself in to police, facing multiple charges including illegal street racing and reckless driving. The victims, Jai’Hyon Elliott, Trevor Merritt, and Nick Williams, were on their way to a birthday party at the time of the crash, which deeply affected the Fayetteville community and first responders. Monroe had previously received a speeding ticket on the same road just two months before the incident. Both sisters are confronting serious legal consequences as the investigation confirmed excessive speed and reckless behavior as key factors in the tragedy.
