(Anna Franceschi is seen being escorted from court)
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WGGB) — A memorial marked the spot where Yasmin Marin took her final steps Monday.
Court documents show that a deadly dispute started Sunday night, when Ramon Rodriguez, owner of Rosaro’s Mini Market, told Anna Franceschi he no longer wanted to date her. Franceschi allegedly got upset and accused Rodriguez of having feelings for Yasmin Marin. Police say Franceschi left the store and on the way out, drove into Yasmin’s car.
Monday morning police say Yasmin came back to the store to ask Rodriguez why her car was damaged and at about the same time Franceschi also returned to retrieve personal items from Rodriguez.
Witnesses told police that Yasmin was crossing the street, saw Franceschi , told her to stop and put her hands up, but Franceschi kept driving and actually accelerated. Witnesses said it was a horrible scene.
“There was just a whole bunch of people cars. I saw the lady’s daughter crying,” witness Luis Mosquera said. “Really hard. It was actually my first time seeing something like that. It was shocking.”
Police say Franceschi fled the scene and after talking by the phone by Rodriguez called police. They arrested her at home and impounded her car. In court Tuesday, she pled not guilty to murder and assault with dangerous weapon. Rodriguez told police that he did not have any relationship with Yasmin. In fact, he told detectives that Yasmin had dated his cousin. Franceschi was held without bail and will be back in court next month.
She probably had no insurance, no license and the vehicle wasn’t registered. Why else wouldn’t she stop, unless she was under the influence
Glad she was caught.
Was the guy worth it? Now you’ll get a bunch of carpet to munch…. Dumbass
No man is worth my life or freedom.
God bless the victim and her family. Tragic.
Perhaps she planned this
The question is still there…Was it intentional? Please no speculations. Only facts.
who said anything about a man??
The rumors in the area are that the woman that ran the girl over did it because the girl was messing around with her husband and was supposedly pregnant by him…
Nothing more dangerous than a woman scorned
Oh what do u know I was right
I wonder if it was planned?
soon it will be people like this who will ruin my privilege to own a car..
At whitney thats exactly what I hear happened as well she was struck so hard that witnesses said she exploded
Maybe it was an accident and she had a lapse of judgement
Charged with murder? Then she purposely ran over her. Otherwise it would be vehicular homicide. Just saying.
I heard it was an argument that escalated to her running the victim over more than one time which = murder.
If that is true… shouldn’t she be running over the man?
Couldn’t agree more Lisa
OMG! Poor woman!

@michelle howland…It dosent matter if it was an accident or a murder…wow..someones a little lost.We all understand its tragic. It matters.
DOESNT MATTER WHAT THE TRUTH IS…what matters is a woman and her unborn baby are dead…speculate all you want…have respect for the victims
Of course of how and why it happens matters…the person should pay obviously…i am just sad because why people do this uncalled stuff..the lady should have just accepted she was cheated or whatever happened and get on with your life…violence doesnt make your life easier…it makes it worse
tpeople said she was pregnant wow sorry may she rest in peace
