"An arrest warrant was issued for Evelyn Ortiz-Luevano on Friday related to the death of her son, Caiden Ortiz-Luevano, The Tulsa County District Attorney’s Office said.

Evelyn drove a Lime scooter into oncoming traffic with her son on the back on April 23, when she swerved to avoid a car, Tulsa World reported. The driver of the car, Renier Davison, also swerved to avoid the scooter, but the vehicle struck Caiden, leading to his death later that night at a hospital.

Rather than face felony child neglect and misdemeanor negligent homicide charges, Evelyn left the country over the weekend, according to Tulsa Police Sergeant Shane Tuell.

It's not clear whether she attended a memorial service for her son, which is believed to have been held on Sunday.

A witness told police that she saw Evelyn driving one of two scooters on April 23, near the 31st Street entrance to a park called The Gathering Place.

Evelyn's scooter had Caiden on the back, as she was driving it under a pedestrian bridge and into oncoming traffic.

The witness said drivers began honking their horns, with one coming to a complete stop, as Evelyn continued to drive through tunnels on Riverside Drive with a friend on a second scooter following about 40 yards behind her and Caiden.

A probable cause affidavit states Evelyn swerved left to avoid the car driving in her and Caiden's direction when Caiden was thrown from the scooter onto the roadway.

The driver, Davison, also swerved left, avoiding the scooter but hitting the child.

Davison fled the scene immediately following the accident but turned himself in to the police on Wednesday, after the Honda he was driving was found parked at an nearby apartment, according to Fox News."

She looks like your standard run-of-the-mill Tijuana whore.

I feel bad for the other dude that was driving if he had just stayed at the scene. It is my guess that he doesn't have insurance.

Yeah... driving under suspension usually means you are uninsured.

Davison fled the scene immediately following the accident but turned himself in to the police on Wednesday, after the Honda he was driving was found parked at an nearby apartment, according to Fox News.

He now faces charges of leaving the scene of a fatal collision, driving with a suspended license and causing an accident without a valid driver’s license.

A man who left the scene of an accident that killed a 5-year-old boy who was riding a scooter will not go to prison.

According to police, 5-year-old Caiden Reyes-Ortiz and his mom, Evelyn Ortiz-Luevano, were riding a Lime electric scooter in front of the Gathering Place around 8:30 p.m. on April 23.

Court documents say that a witness saw two electric scooters zigzagging across lanes of traffic while vehicles honked their horns. Documents say the person on the second scooter was a friend of the mother’s.

Police say the child fell off the scooter while they were riding southbound in the northbound lane.

According to court documents, Ortiz-Luevano “crossed both lanes and recklessly rode the scooter into oncoming traffic, and in an attempt to veer out of the path of the vehicle, caused her son to fall from the scooter and then to be hit by that vehicle, causing his death.”

Investigators say the car that hit the child fled the scene of the accident.

The boy was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he died from his injuries. His mother was not seriously injured.

A short time later, officials said they found the suspect’s vehicle at an apartment complex and that it was missing the front bumper and the front grill, which were later found near the scene.

Police say Renier S. Davison turned himself in the next day and was booked into jail for leaving the scene of an injury accident, causing an accident without a driver’s license and driving while under suspension.

Davison pleaded no contest to the charges in the case and was given a five-year deferred sentence.
