Man guilty of killing teen by wrongly thinking SUV had rivals

Stephanie Herrera was the first in her family to attend college.

The teenager was a role model to her two younger siblings and dreamed of becoming a surgeon because she wanted to help non-English speaking patients like her mother have an easier time navigating the health care system.

But before starting her sophomore year, the 18-year-old University of Illinois at Chicago student was killed by a purported Latin King who intentionally slammed into the SUV she was traveling in because he mistakenly thought there were rival gang members inside.
