Ahmedal Tayeb Elnouman Modawi, 17, was released on bail today after being charged with three counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault in relation to a deadly car crash on October 1st
A teenage hookah lounge valet who killed three other young valets while allegedly fleeing police at 60mph on a residential street was released on bail.
Ahmedal Tayeb Elnouman Modawi, 17, from Sudan, was charged with three counts of murder and one count of aggravated assault for the deadly October 1 crash in Houston that killed three young men, with one of his victims previously beating leukemia. He also injured both himself and his passenger.
The teen made bail this past weekend and is required to wear an ankle monitor while he is under house arrest until his next court hearing on Dec. 15. He will be permitted to attend school and church during that time.
Modawi’s bond was initially set at at $350,000, which included $100,000 for each murder count. A judge later reduced the bond to $220,000 - $60,000 for each murder count, plus $40,000 for the aggravated assault.
At the time of the incident, authorities allege a patrol sergeant saw Modawi doing 'doughnuts' in a white Infiniti G37 and leaving tire tracks on the pavement in a parking lot in the 6300 block of Fairdale Lane at 10.30pm. That is said to have prompted them to try and pull Modawi over - only for him to allegedly attempt to flee.
