Tina Camacho’s life changed forever the day she learned her only grandchild, Valerie, had been hit by a truck while jogging in Crestview.
“It destroyed my heart,” she said. “It killed my heart.”
Valerie Camacho, who was 17, died Thursday, Sept. 18, two days after she was struck while running before sunrise along Antioch Road.
Tina Camacho said she took another blow late last week, when the State Attorney’s Office told her it had accepted the Crestview Police Department’s recommendation that Michael Stanfill, the man who hit Valerie, not face criminal charges.
“To me Valerie didn’t get any justice,” Tina Camacho said.
