Author Jeff Kurkjian
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - NOVEMBER 04: Friends of Tina Tintor light a candle at a roadside memorial near the site where she and her dog Max died in a vehicle crash involving former Las Vegas Raiders player Henry Ruggs III on November 4, 2021 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Police and prosecutors say Ruggs was driving his Chevrolet Corvette at up to 156 mph with a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit in Nevada when he hit the back of Tintor's Toyota RAV4 on Tuesday morning, causing her vehicle to catch fire. Ruggs and his girlfriend, Kiara Je'nai Kilgo-Washington, were hospitalized for injuries suffered in the wreck. The Raiders later released Ruggs after he was booked into the Clark County Detention Center on multiple felony DUI and reckless driving charges. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

She was killed by ex-Raider Henry Ruggs III back on November 2nd.

Ruggs was driving 156 miles-per-hour seconds before hitting the car driven by Tintor. Both her and her dog were trapped in the car and died after the vehicle caught fire. Tintor, a graduate of Durango High School, was about a mile from her home.

Look how beautiful this mural turned out.

It’s located near Rainbow Boulevard and Spring Valley Parkway if you want to see it in person.

The community has rallied around Tintor and her family after the horrific crash. Less then two weeks after her death, a large memorial walk was held.

Not only people but dogs were encouraged to join their owners for the walk!
