A Florida woman who killed another woman in a hit-and-run later told police that she didn’t think it mattered because the victim was ‘just a homeless person,’ authorities claim.
Ivana Gomez, 32, was speeding through Little Havana in her BMW while intoxicated in the early morning hours of May 30 when she allegedly struck 41-year-old Kathryn Kipnis before attempting to flee the scene.
Kipnis was hit with such force that her head shattered the windshield, leaving strands of hair embedded in car’s passenger seatbelt.
More than four months after the deadly crash, newly released bodycam footage revealed the moments following Gomez’s fatal strike – and her alleged chilling disregard for human life, according to NBC 6 Miami.
‘It was just a homeless person that I hit and it is just an accident,’ Gomez allegedly stated while being placed in the back of a cop car, according to the arrest report.
