The three young women died in a horrific late-night crash in New Jersey had linked up for a high school reunion meant to unite two of them who had a falling out, one of the victims’ mothers told The NY Post.
Mikayla Powell’s mom, Linda, tells The Post that her 23-year-old daughter organized the reunion to help mend fences between pals Brianna Martinez, 23, and Uchechukw “Uche” Chukwuma, 24, before the trio were killed in the collision. “Brianna and Uche were on the outs and she wanted to get them together,” the grieving mom told The Post.
The fatal outing also was supposed to be a final get-together for the tight group of Franklin High School alums before one of their pals was deployed next month, she said. “This was a reunion, mostly people from high school. Mikayla helped put this together,” Linda Powell said, adding that her daughter was “always getting people together.”
RIP to these beautiful souls 🙏🏾
