Vilma Almanza Siles, the woman who ran over and killed her Cuban boyfriend, Yuniesky Díaz Gómez, in Lexington, Nebraska, will appear in court next Monday, charged with vehicular homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving without a license.
Almanza, 42 years old and a native of Nicaragua, is accused of causing the death of Diaz, 38, on June 2nd, on the outskirts of the residential complex Poderosa Apartments, where they resided.
The suspect has been detained in Dawson County Jail since then without bail, and will make her first court appearance for the reading of charges on June 10 at 10 a.m., local media reported.
According to court documents, agents from the Lexington Police Department were dispatched to the apartment complex around 4:30 a.m. on Sunday and found Diaz on the ground with serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle driven by Almanza.
Witnesses informed the authorities that, upon arriving home that early morning, the couple had an argument during which the woman tried to leave. Díaz stood in front of the car trying to prevent her from leaving and was run over by his girlfriend.
The Cuban was urgently transported by personnel from the Volunteer Fire Department to the Regional Hospital of Lexington, where he died due to his injuries.

The Lexington Police Department is investigating the case, with the assistance of the Dawson County Sheriff's Office.
Díaz was a native of Herradura, in Pinar del Río, and had been in a romantic relationship with Almanza since June 2023.
