LAS VEGAS, Nevada -- A Deaf woman was killed in Wednesday's horrific crash involving a suspected drunk driver. She worked as an Uber driver.
Family and friends say Jenio Eugenio was driving home from work, just four weeks on the job when she never made it home.
Despite being Deaf Eujenio didn't let her disability get in the way of her goals.
Through a Deaf Interpreter, her family expresses outrage. Her loved ones devastated and in tears after learning Eugenio was killed by a suspected driving under the influence driver, 3 a.m. Wednesday.
"You murderer, you murderer why did you kill my friend," says girlfriend, Maja Valdez.
Police believe Victor Sandoval was driving under the influence when he ran through several red lights before slamming into Eugenio's car.
"I miss her a lot I miss her so much," says Eugenio's friend, Rose Andaya.
Maja Valdez lived with Eugenio for more than a decade. She describes her partner as a sweet and supportive person.
"I lost my soulmate. We use to always be together and care for each other, now that she's gone. I'm alone. I'm alone now in this big house by myself." says Valdez.
Tonight friends are left with more heartbreak than answers.
"Why did you murder my friend? Why were you driving? Why were you looking for trouble? My friend was innocent and she was deaf just why," says Andaya.
According to law enforcement, Sandoval remains hospitalized. Police say charges against him are pending.
