On July 22, 2021, at 12:30 a.m., the Minnesota State Patrol was called to Interstate 35E and Shepard Road in St. Paul on a report of a crash, according to a criminal complaint.
There, troopers found a Kia Forte on its roof in the ditch to the east of the Shepard Road ramp off the southbound I-35E lanes, the complaint added.
Mosley was identified as the driver of the vehicle. A 19-year-old passenger — later identified as identified as Shaterries Barlow — died at the scene, officials say.
Later, Mosley told officials she “had a few drinks” before driving the vehicle.
Troopers say they found a half-empty bottle of an alcoholic beverage and a small amount of marijuana inside the Kia.
According to the complaint, a blood alcohol concentration test was ordered for Mosley and her blood alcohol concentration was determined to be 0.085.
A sentencing date for Mosley hasn’t yet been set.
