The Denver grand jury has indicted Nadine Montoya on charges that she killed Lilian Verdonkschot, alleging that in the moments before Verdonkschot died, a drunk and screaming Montoya aimed her car at Verdonkschot and two of her companions.
Verdonkschot, 49, died at 7 a.m. on May 29 at Denver Health Medical Center, hours after Montoya repeatedly ran over her with her car at the Burger King at Sixth Avenue and Broadway, said the grand jury.
Montoya, 26, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder in Verdonkschot’s death, including felony murder and extreme indifference murder. She also faces two counts of vehicular assault.
According to the indictment, Montoya and two friends attacked Verdonkschot, her daughter and a friend after a dispute in the drive-through. According to the grand jury, Montoya drove her car forward and pinned Verdonk schot between the cars. Montoya then either rolled or backed her car up, and Verdonkschot fell to the ground. Montoya then drove over Verdonkschot, said the grand jury.
