Motorcycle crash charges have been filed against 20-year-old Jose Funez in connection with the death of Denver Jackson. The tragic accident happened on May 25th near the Santa Elena Bridge, shaking the small community.
According to police, Funez and Jackson were riding a motorcycle when disaster struck. Funez reportedly lost control of the bike, which then slammed into a lamppost. Jackson, just 16 years old, was riding as a passenger and suffered fatal injuries. Medical personnel pronounced him dead shortly after the crash.
The situation has become even more distressing for Jackson’s family and the wider public. Assistant Superintendent of Police Stacy Smith revealed that Funez was under the influence at the time of the collision. That detail has added heartbreak to an already devastating loss.
Police arrested and charged Funez following the investigation. He now faces serious consequences for his actions. Authorities have not yet released the full list of charges, but more legal proceedings are expected as the case unfolds.
Friends, classmates, and family continue to mourn the young life taken far too soon. In the meantime, many in the community are demanding more accountability for reckless driving and impaired motorcyclists. They hope this tragedy will serve as a wake-up call for safer roads and better choices.
While nothing can bring Denver Jackson back, his loved ones want his memory to inspire change. As the investigation moves forward, the spotlight remains on justice, responsibility, and community healing.
