The driver accused of killing three Clayton teenagers in a hit-and-run accident last week waived a preliminary hearing Thursday.
Priscilla Dianne Johnson, 48, faces a raft of charges in the accident, including vehicular homicide, driving under the influence, and hit and run. The Lithonia woman is scheduled for arraignment Sept. 15 Clayton County Superior Court.
Meanwhile, services have been set for the three friends -- Antonious Bishop, 16, Octavius Sorrells, 17 and Timothy Aaron, 17 -- who were walking along Ga. 138 when they were struck by a car allegedly driven by Johnson.
Services for Sorrells will be held at noon Thursday in New Piney Grove Missionary Baptist Church, 2580 Snapfinger Road in Decatur.
Sorrells was the second of two boys and was affectionately known as "Gooby." He attended Mt. Zion High School and worked at a Kroger in Stockbridge. He loved cooking and basketball.
Bishop's service will be held at 6 p.m. Thursday at Canaan Baptist Church, 1117 Beaman Lake Road, in Knoxville, Tenn. Antonious had a passion for video games, making music beats, skateboarding and Arizona kiwi strawberry iced tea, said his mom, LaKeisha Green.
Services for Aaron will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at Macedonia A.M.E. Church, 6235 Stagecoach Road, in Rex.
Aaron was a kind, affectionate teen who loved his three younger siblings and had dreams of being a musician, his family said. The family has set up the Timothy Aaron Memorial Fund at Wells Fargo Bank to accept donations to help with burial costs.
