A longtime friend said she was with a Las Vegas woman minutes before she was killed in a fiery pre-dawn crash that authorities say former Raiders player Henry Ruggs III caused by driving 156 mph with a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit in Nevada.
Tina Tintor dropped Bojana Filipovic off at her home early Tuesday after walking Tintor's dog, Maxi, and talking about going to Serbia, Filopovic told Fox5 KVVU-TV in Las Vegas.
Ruggs and his girlfriend, Kiara Je'nai Kilgo-Washington, were injured in the Corvette. Both were hospitalized before Ruggs was booked later Tuesday into the Clark County Detention Center in Las Vegas. Ruggs later posted bond and was freed to house arrest and electronic monitoring pending his next court date Nov. 10.
Three men and a woman whom Wolfson identified as Tintor's family declined in the court hallway to talk to reporters after the court hearing.A police report said several people told investigators they saw the speeding Corvette, heard a loud crash and tried to rescue Tintor, but were turned back by heat, flames and smoke.
A neighbor told police a Dodge Durango SUV arrived and parked behind the Corvette moments after the crash, and several people got out of the SUV and left. Police and prosecutors have not said who was in that vehicle. Wolfson said Wednesday the investigation was continuing. Filipovic told KLAS-TV that Tintor graduated from Durango High School in Las Vegas and hoped to go into the computer science programming field.
