Memorial Day Tragedy: Jetski Crash Claims Life of Air Force Academy Graduate

On Memorial Day weekend, the idyllic setting of Great Vine Lake in Texas was shattered by a tragic accident. Ava Moore, a promising 18-year-old US Air Force Academy Prep School graduate, lost her life after a jetski operated by Daikerlyn Alejandra Gonzalez, 22, collided with her kayak. Gonzalez, who was in the country illegally from Venezuela, and her boyfriend, Maikel Coello Perozo, 21, also an illegal immigrant from Venezuela, fled the scene. The incident unfolded as Moore enjoyed a kayaking trip with friends. "It was a beautiful day," recalls one witness, who asked to remain anonymous. "Then, suddenly, everything changed." The collision caused severe head trauma to Moore, who later died at the hospital. The couple was eventually apprehended after a standoff with police at a residence where they had been hiding. Gonzalez faces charges of second-degree felony manslaughter, reckless operation, and leaving the scene of an accident involving death. Perozo is charged with hindering apprehension. A $500,000 bond has been recommended for Gonzalez. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of water safety and responsible behavior on recreational waterways. The legal proceedings will determine the full consequences of this devastating event.
