ST. LOUIS — The man charged with killing a mother and daughter leaving a
concert in downtown St. Louis is out on bond.

22-year-old Monte Henderson was released Friday.

Henderson's bond was $200,000, but a judge allowed him to post 10% of
that cash only.

Just 24 hours prior, Henderson was charged with two counts of
involuntary manslaughter and two counts of armed criminal action.

Chicagoan 42-year-old Laticha Bracero and her daughter 21-year-old
Alyssa Cordova were in town for the Drake concert, which let out shortly
before the women were struck while walking near Enterprise Center on
North 18th and Olive streets.

Officers said Henderson was running red lights when he sideswiped the
front end of another vehicle at North 18th and Olive streets. His Jeep
rotated clockwise and hit Bracero and Cordova, who were walking on the
crosswalk. The Jeep continued to move until it T-boned another vehicle.

According to court documents, data retrieved from the Jeep indicated
that the car was traveling at speeds in excess of 70 mph prior to
violating the red traffic signal.

Henderson's attorney shared this statement following the charges, "This
is a very tragic accident, Monte is very upstanding young man; involved
in academics and sports."

"He's going to be held accountable," St. Louis Police Chief Robert Tracy
said at a St. Louis Business Journal event Thursday. "He destroyed
families, killed two people."

The St. Louis Business Journal also reported Henderson had no criminal
record.

In an interview prior to the charges, the victims' family spoke to 5 On
Your Side.

Cousin Nicole Rivera said the duo loved music and going to concerts was
'their thing'.

She called the two, best friends.

She added, "If I'm being honest, the only way I can try to get through
it is knowing that they were together because if either one of them made
it, they wouldn't have survived without the other. We want them here
more than anything but if we can't have that, of course, we want
justice."

Rivera reached out to 5 On Your Side in reaction to the bond release
with this statement:

“My family is not being allowed time to grieve and we haven't even
figured out how to bring Lety and Alyssa home yet and we are at a loss
as to how a man can take 2 lives and be out on bond 2 days later able to
sit at home with his family. We have MANY questions and demand answers.
The police department has failed to reach out to us and the states
attorneys office has provided inaccurate information. This man should
NOT have been able to go home after ONLY 2 days and he took 2 lives. We
don't know if he had a driver's license, we don't know if he was under
the influence, we don't know his criminal history, we don't know if he's
a flight risk, we don't know if he had vehicle insurance. My family
demands accountability from everyone everywhere. The driver, the police
department, the states attorneys office, the venue, traffic control
etc.”

Right now, the victims' family wants to bring the two women back to
Chicago to have a proper memorial and a GoFundMe is set up to do so.
