JUST IN: Amanda Washington, the mother of the man accused of fatally shooting a 54-year-old man for driving too slow in Springfield, has been charged with hindering prosecution, the Delaware County District Attorney announced on Friday.
During the investigation, authorities were able to identify the dark blue Chevy Equinox driven by Amanda Washington through several surveillance systems.
On June 30, officers arrived at the address of Amanda Washington and witnessed her leaving her home in Darby and entering the suspected vehicle. According to a release, that’s when police secured the vehicle and all of the occupants at the house, including her son. Both of them were transported to the Darby Borough Police Department for further investigation.
Amanda Washington waived her Miranda rights, according to the Delco District Attorney. While she was being questioned about the murder of Hua, she told police that she and her son were driving to work and that she was running late, and that the driver of the white Camry was driving slowly. She told police that once she got in front of Hua’s vehicle, she heard shots and realized that her son was shooting out of the passenger side of the car. According to police, she asked what her son was doing, to which he allegedly responded: “Go. Go. Go. Go, Mom.”
As they continued to drive, she told police her son also said, “Mom I hope I didn’t kill anybody.” She told police she didn’t know her son had a gun on him at the time, even though she was aware he had a license to carry.
