East Bay mother of teen killed by suspected DUI driver takes action to keep him behind bars

An East Bay mother turns her grief into action. Her 16-year-old son was struck and killed by a suspected DUI driver in #Richmond on July 15. The judge has set a bail hearing for October 15 to decide if the suspect's bail should be lowered from $1.1 million. The victim's mother has started a petition to gather signatures to show the judge she has the community's support in not wanting the suspect back on the streets. A spokesman for the Contra Costa County District Attorney's office tells me the prosecution opposes a bail reduction. I reached out to the suspect's defense attorney but did not receive a response. #KTVU
