What should have been a joyful summer evening at the Livonia Spree — filled with laughter, lights, and family memories — turned into unimaginable heartbreak in a matter of seconds.

Tia Robinson was enjoying the community festival with her children when a reckless driver plowed into them, shattering the celebration and forever altering their lives. Her 3-year-old son, Khalil, was killed in the crash. The driver, later identified as Tammy Sandoval, fled the scene, leaving chaos and devastation behind before being arrested by authorities. 🚔

Witnesses described screams replacing music, flashing emergency lights overtaking carnival glow. For Tia and her daughter Khloe, survival came with physical injuries and emotional wounds that may never fully heal.

Khalil was just three years old — a little boy with a bright smile, boundless energy, and a future full of first days of school, birthdays, and dreams that will now never unfold. Loved ones say he brought light wherever he went. 🧸✨

As legal proceedings move forward, the family continues to demand accountability. They say justice is not about revenge, but about ensuring responsibility for a decision that cost a child his life. ⚖️

Community members have gathered in prayer and remembrance, releasing balloons and lighting candles in Khalil’s honor. His name is spoken with both tears and determination — a promise that he will not be forgotten.

Though Tia and Khloe continue the long road toward healing, the scars of that night remain. And in the midst of grief, the family’s message is clear: Khalil’s life mattered, and his memory will live on far beyond the tragedy that took him. 🕊️💫
