An illegal alien accused of causing the crash that killed 12-year-old Travis Wolfe in Hazelwood, Missouri, last year is now out of jail without paying any bail.
A St. Louis County circuit judge has granted a personal recognizance bond to a Venezuelan national accused of multiple felonies in a wrong-way crash that killed a 12-year-old boy in December 2023 in Hazelwood.
Circuit Judge Bruce Hilton on Thursday reduced bond for Endrina Bracho to not require a cash amount. She is charged with first-degree involuntary manslaughter, two counts of first-degree child endangerment and second-degree assault in the case.
Charging documents state Bracho was also driving without a license at the time of the crash and is living in the country without legal permission. She has been jailed since March on a $500,000 cash-only bond.
Hilton’s reduction of the suspect’s bond was over the objection of prosecutors, according to court documents. The judge ordered her not to drive without a license or contact the victims. She is also required to wear a GPS monitor.
In a bond reduction motion filed in September, defense attorney Cesar A. Millan said Bracho has no criminal record, has a family and children in the area and is not a flight risk. He referred to the crash as a traffic accident and said his client has been overcharged.
