More than a year after a man was killed in a hit and run accident near Hardy Toll Road north of Houston, his family says they feel like they are getting further away from finding justice.

This after a court hearing Tuesday when one of the suspects charged with manslaughter, speeding, and failure to stop and render aid, pleaded guilty.

August 19, 2022 is a day that will forever be branded in Tracie Martinez’ and Rodrigo Campos Martinez’ minds as the day they tragically lost their son, 21-year-old Edwin Favela. Martinez says Edwin was on his beloved motorcycle leaving work on Mooney Road and turned on Hardy when he was slammed into by two vehicles that Harris County Sheriff’s Office investigators say were speed racing.The loving father, video game and motorcycle enthusiast didn’t make it. Officials say the cars drivers, one of them being Alejandro Monsibais, never stopped and instead abandoned the vehicles after fleeing the scene.

Monsibais was eventually arrested, but Martinez says their family’s nightmare worsened Tuesday when Monsibais pleaded guilty, leading to a pre-sentencing investigation. She believes the judge is being too lenient.
