 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

A 17-YEAR-OLD IN A MERCEDES HIT AND KILLED A 6-YEAR-OLD GIRL AS SHE EXITED THE SCHOOL BUS... AND THEN HE RAN. (PHOTO)


 A 17-year-old in a Mercedes hit and killed a 6-year-old girl as she exited the school bus... and then he ran. 


Mariana Espinoza, only 6-years-old, had just exited her school bus on Friday, October 23rd, when she fell victim to a teen that tried to outrun consequences. 


As little Mariana got off of the bus around 3:30 p.m. that Friday, she no doubt had a head full of weekend plans. Plans that she never had the opportunity to fulfill.


As she was crossing the intersection near Barrington Drive and Milton Road and the school bus sat stopped with lights and signs engaged, she was taking her last breaths, sadly.


Her untimely passing was in the form of 17-year-old Lachevis Finnie and his 2015 Silver Mercedes-Benz. Video footage captured shows the Mercedes speed past the stopped bus. You can then hear an audible thump before screaming begins.


After striking 6-year-old Mariana, the vehicle quickly fled from the area.


Mariana was rushed to the hospital where she desperately clung to life until Saturday, October 24th.


17-year-old Lachevis Finnie was able to evade arrest until Monday, October 26th. The arrest came only after police released images of the vehicle involved. 


Lachevis claimed he did not stop or contact 911 after the accident because he was scared. He has confessed to striking Mariana Espinoza on Friday, October 23rd.


Lachevis Finnie is being charged with felony hit and run resulting in death.  His bond was set at 2.5 million.


Young drivers sometimes forget to stop for stopped busses in the opposite lane. It's a sad reality. Please be aware of your surroundings and stopped busses. 


Our thoughts are with everyone who loved Mariana.
