Families of girl, 14, and boy, 15, suffer after crash in Miami-Dade

John A. Ferguson Senior High School students grieve after crash on Miller Drive

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Anguish plagued the loved ones of a 14-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy who were suffering after a car crash in Miami-Dade County. The teens were in an Audi when police officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop at about 3 a.m., on Wednesday.

Gago was pronounced dead at the scene, while fire rescue personnel took Keltz to HCA Florida Kendall Hospital. Detective Alvaro Zabaleta, a spokesman for the Miami-Dade Police Department, said it appeared the boy’s mother didn’t know that he had taken the car.

Attorney Michael Feiler, who represents the girl’s family, identified her as Jazmin Keltz, the passenger of the gray Audi. Anthony Jayden Gago, the boy who died during the crash, was the driver during the collision along Miller Drive.

“We look forward to finding out how and why this happened and we will leave no stone unturned,” Feiler said.

Jazmin and Jayden were students at John A. Ferguson Senior High School in Kendall West.

“Jazmin is a very kind-hearted person,” said her friend, Michael Valdes, who spent time with her during martial arts training.

Gago’s family members set up a GoFundMe page to help with expenses. Keltz’s family did as well.

On Friday night, after Jazmin’s family attorney and her brother said she was dead, Zabaleta said Jazmin still had a heartbeat and doctors had not officially declared her dead.
