A 22-year-old man has been arrested in connection with the 2016 College Park crash in which three members of a family died.

Diontre Tigner, who was 16 at the time of the accident, has been given litany of charges, including hit-and-run, six counts of felony murder, evading police and reckless driving, according to Fox 5 Atlanta.

Joi Partridge said that she was relieved that her family finally could seek justice.

"They told me they caught the guy, and I was really ecstatic," Partridge told Fox 5. "I was shocked at first and surprised. I couldn’t believe they caught him. He was in another high-speed chase in Cobb County, and they caught him this time."

Partridge added that she has created an organization that will help parents with burial costs for adolescent children, according to Fox 5.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that Partridge lost her mother Dorothy Wright, 75, and two children, Cameron Costner, 12, and Layla Partridge, 6, as they were heading to First St. Peter AME Church on a Sunday morning.

The newspaper reported the crash happened after police were called about a stolen vehicle at the Westin Atlanta Airport hotel. They spotted Tigner in a Chevrolet Suburban, which fled the scene once police located him.

Law enforcement officials chased the vehicle for about 10 miles into southwest Atlanta before losing the SUV on a residential street near Westview Cemetery, then found it again at Rogers Avenue and South Gordon Street, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Tigner proceeded to speed through a stop sign and crashed into a Buick LeSabre that was driven by Wright, according to the newspaper.

"I didn’t think no one was looking. I didn’t think anyone cared at one point I thought it was going to go unsolved," Partridge told Fox News.
