Bani Duarte, 27, of San Clemente pleaded not guilty to three
counts of murder on Monday, April 29 for driving under the
influence and striking a vehicle in Huntington Beach on March
29, killing three teenagers from Las Vegas.
Duarte posted bail for the $100,000 on which she was initially

held on a $5 million bond after authorities said she may have
planned to flee the country, a press release from Huntington
Beach Police Department stated.
According to the release, police stated new evidence had come to
light and they saw Duarte as a flight risk.
Duarte was taken into custody at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 29 in

the country to avoid prosecution, authorities said.
If convicted, Duarte could face up to 51 years to life in
prison, according to the Orange County District Attorneys
Office.
