Bayshore race claims two lives: child dies day after mother’s death

TAMPA — Jessica Raubenolt seized on the sunshine and blue sky at midday Wednesday to take her daughter out in the stroller for a walk along scenic Bayshore Boulevard. Visiting from Ohio, the family had been cursed by rain all week.

At the same time, Cameron Herrin and John Alexander Barrineau hit the gas, witnesses said, as they raced each other north on Bayshore, a main drag for the two teens who lived less than a mile away. Both had graduated just two days earlier from Tampa Catholic High School.

Raubenolt, 24, was pushing 21-month-old Lillia across the northbound lanes from the sidewalk on the bay toward the neighborhood where her uncle lives when they were struck by a black 2018 Mustang with Herrin at the wheel police said.

One witness heard the distinctive roar of the Mustang’s engine just before the crash. Another saw Raubenolt thrown into the air. The mother was soon pronounced dead at Tampa General Hospital. Her daughter Lillia died on Thursday.

Raubenolt was crossing legally at the intersection, police said.

Witnesses who were walking and driving along Bayshore told police they saw a black Mustang and a gold Nissan racing, arrest reports say. Police said Barrineau was driving the Nissan. One pedestrian described hearing the sound of an engine revving, then turning and seeing the two cars speeding north with the Mustang in front. The vehicles changed lanes to avoid slower traffic, the witness said. Soon after, the witness heard a crash.

After a while, David Raubenolt began to wonder where his wife and daughter were, so he headed out to Bayshore to look for them, Tampa police spokesman Steve Hegarty said. He came upon the scene and the damaged stroller after they had been taken to the hospital.
