A North Carolina suspect accused of fatally hitting a 6-year-old outside her home with his car last week reportedly referred to the victim by an insulting term.
Andrew Everett, 50, became angry during questioning after he was accused of killing Joselin Perez Hernandez while speeding outside her Walnut Street, Cary home Friday morning.
Investigators believe Everett was driving 10 to 15 mph above the speed limit when he struck little Joselin.
The victim suffered spine and brain injuries and died at a hospital.
Everett, who displayed a lack of remorse, had drug paraphernalia in his vehicle and evidence showed he failed to brake properly before hitting the child.
“I’m not sure why this investigation is taking more than five minutes,” Everett allegedly told detectives.
“It wasn’t my fault, no one was watching her and she jumped out in front of me…That re***d.”
Everett now faces charges of involuntary manslaughter, failure to reduce speed, exceeding the posted speed limit, careless and reckless driving, and death by motor vehicle.
