BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — A 23-year-old woman admits her reckless driving caused the death of her passenger.
23-year-old Aleia Easley pleaded guilty Friday to Manslaughter for the deadly crash in April.
Easley and another woman, 21-year-old Jacquelyn McClain, were confronted by a loss prevention officer at the Save A Lot on Rossler Avenue in Cheektowaga for stealing from the store. Easly and McClain then ran and tried to getaway in their vehicle.
