MOORE, Okla. (KFOR) — Two men are facing charges after allegedly street racing and killing a Moore woman.
Isaiah Lancaster and Devon Davis have both been charged with First Degree Manslaughter.
Lancaster and Davis were allegedly street racing down I-35 on June 8th and killed 26-year-old Marissa Byrd.
It's been an emotional rollercoaster for Misty Goldman, Byrd's mother.
"I really just want to curl up," said Goldman. "You go from being mad to trying to cope."
Court documents reveal Lancaster and Davis admitted to drinking before getting behind the wheel.
"Drinking in itself and driving is obviously no good, something's going to happen, but then you add racing on top of it, what did they think would be the outcome?" said Goldman.
According to documents Lancaster was behind the wheel of a red Mustang GT and was speeding down the "inside shoulder" of I-35 when he hit the barrier wall and lost control.
The impact triggered a chain reaction of chaos that destroyed five vehicles in total and killed Byrd.
Davis, the other suspect, was in a Dodge Charger and "landed on it's top" according to court papers.
Goldman said because of their careless actions, her daughter's life was unfairly cut short.
"She truly was a good person. She truly cared for others. She carried this aura with her. She was always happy, upbeat, vibrant, even if she was having a bad day nobody would know. She was truly a good person," said Goldman.
Both Lancaster and Davis have been released on bond.
They are due back in court on July 23rd.
