A person killed Saturday when a man who drove his car onto a closed Seattle freeway and into a crowd protesting police brutality was remembered Sunday as someone who was dedicated to the cause.
The other person hit in the incident, meanwhile, remained in serious condition Sunday at a Seattle hospital.
Katelyn Hoberecht, who worked with Taylor at the veterinary clinics, told the Seattle Times that Taylor had been a frequent presence at protests. Diaz Love, 32, also of Portland, Oregon, was also hit when the car barrelled through a panicked crowd of protesters on Interstate 5 early Saturday morning. Diaz remained in serious condition Sunday in the intensive care unit at Harborview Medical Center, spokesperson Susan Gregg said.
Love was filming the protest in a nearly two-hour-long Facebook livestream captioned "Black Femme March takes I-5" when the video ended abruptly; with about 15 seconds left, shouts of "Car!" can be heard as the camera starts to shake before screeching tires and the sound of impact are heard. Kelete was booked into the King County Correctional Facility on Saturday morning on two counts of vehicular assault. Bail was denied.It was not immediately clear if Kelete had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Troopers did not know whether it was a targeted attack, but impairment was not considered a factor, Mead said.
