An Instagram influencer is being called out for what is perceived as a lack of remorse and accountability after she was accused of killing a man during a DUI incident in 2024.
Summer Wheaton of California allegedly crossed a median and crashed head-on into 44-year-old Martin Okeke. According to PEOPLE, a passenger in Okekeβs car was also taken to the hospital. Okeke died in the collision. Wheaton, 33, surrendered to police in Malibu on Feb. 24, and is charged with gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving under the influence.
