Nearly a month after 17-year-old Moncerrat "Monce" Martinez Maldonado was struck and killed while walking home from work, her mother is demanding answers after the suspected driver received a reduced bond.

During a hearing on Monday, a judge cut down 19-year-old Vynzell Edward McGarity's bond from $100,000 to $50,000.

He was charged with reckless driving and racing on a highway causing serious bodily injury for the June 28 crash.
