A 29-year-old father was killed in a wrong-way crash in Duncanville on September 3 just before midnight on Highway 67 in Duncanville. According to the Dallas County Sheriff’s Office, the wrong-way driver was in a stolen car out of Irving. Kenan Ellis just celebrated his 29th birthday in Au gust, his family told NBC 5. His family said Ellis and his two cousins were heading back from a BigXthaPlug music video shoot when they were hit. “I can’t put my head around it, out of all people, why my baby nephew?” Xavier Hicks, Ellis’ uncle, said. Ellis was a loving son, brother, friend, nephew and father. “He was just slowly coming into his own, and that’s all I’ve been waiting on…[to] see him [becoming] the man he was going to be, and he was slowly getting there,” Hicks said. “This [intoxicated] driver, and car thief stole that from us.” Ellis’ cousins survived, but suffered serious injuries and are still recovering in the hospital, according to the family. Hicks said they were less than five minutes from home when the crash happened. Police arrested 29-year-old Alexander Nunez and charged him with intoxication assault, intoxication manslaughter, and unauthorized use of a vehicle. He’s in jail with a $110,000 bond and an immigration hold due to being in the country illegally, according to law enforcement. “I don’t want to hold any malice in my heart,” Hicks said. “I’m just going to pray that God puts his hands on you and changes you because, sir, you made a horrible decision.” Hicks shared that message with the accused driver, who he says left their family in disbelief. Ellis’ family is raising money to support his two children, whom he leaves behind. ...read more read less
