Noelia A. Martinez, a 30-year-old illegal alien, has been arrested and charged with second-degree homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle, second-degree homicide by intoxicated use of a vehicle with prohibited alcohol concentration, drunk driving, and knowingly operating a vehicle on a revoked license, among other charges.<\/p>\n

Helgeson\u2019s longtime boyfriend, 19-year-old Brady Heiling, was seriously injured in the crash.<\/p>\n

On July 20, Martinez was allegedly drunk driving when she crashed into Hallie and Brady, who were in Brady\u2019s Volkswagen Tiguan.<\/p>\n

When first responders arrived on the scene, Hallie was unresponsive and was pronounced dead two hours later. Brady was airlifted to a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n

First responders reported finding open beer cans in Martinez\u2019s Chevy Suburban, and police officers said they smelled alcohol on her and that she failed a field sobriety test. At the time of the crash, Martinez had a blood-alcohol level of 0.208% \u2014 more than double the legal limit of 0.08%.<\/p>\n

While living illegally in the United States, Martinez has racked up several traffic violations and a conviction in November 2020 for drunk driving.<\/p>\n

At the time of the crash, Martinez was supposed to have a device in her vehicle that prevented her from starting her car if she had been drinking. Additionally, her license had been revoked before the crash.<\/p>\n

It is unclear why Martinez was never turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) following her prior run-ins with the law.<\/p>\n

She is being held on a $250,000 bond.<\/p>\n
