Arkansas teen opens food truck a week after graduating high school Grant Hoffpauir from Wynne, Arkansas, graduated high school student and made his dreams a reality by opening his own food truck. Hoffpauir was born with Down syndrome, and his parents say they started “early in age advocating for him to be the best”. WMC’s Briseida Holguin reports.
Brooks, 39, is alleged to have driven an SUV into crowds at the event Nov. 21. Five victims were declared dead overnight. More than 40 other people were injured, authorities said.
Among those treated were several children, area hospital officials said.
The sixth victim died Tuesday as a result of "craniocerebral injuries from blunt force trauma to the head," according to Monday's filing, which cites the conclusion of a Waukesha County medical examiner.
Police said that they had been called before the incident to respond to a domestic disturbance involving Brooks, who was alleged to have fled that scene in the SUV and then driven through the parade.
Authorities alleged that he intentionally targeted participants and parade-goers, ultimately striking a float. They said Brooks had a long arrest record.
He was initially charged with five counts of intentional homicide and jailed in lieu of $5 million bail.
Public defender Wilson Medina said by email, "We don't have a comment at this time."
Monday's count was filed by the office of the Waukesha County District Attorney.
