A South Side mother is mourning the loss of her 17-year-old daughter, Moncerrat "Monce" Maldonado, after San Antonio police say a man who was racing down Southwest Military Drive hit and killed her.

Monce was walking home after her shift at El Pollo Loco when police say she was hit by 19-year-old Vynzell Edward McGarity.

McGarity is facing one charge for racing on the highway causing serious bodily injury or death, according to county records.
