Quintin King Accused in Fatal I-290 East Hit-and-Run That Killed Pregnant Mother Andriuna “Pinkyy DaBratt” Guffie, Family Demands Justice

Quintin King is accused in a fatal hit-and-run crash on I-290 East that claimed the life of 29-year-old Andriuna Guffie, also known as “Pinkyy DaBratt,” a pregnant mother of two.

According to reports, King admitted to authorities that he struck Guffie but failed to stop and render aid.

The tragic incident occurred around 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, March 29, 2026, on Interstate 290 East in Chicago. Guffie had pulled over on the highway to help her pregnant cousin, whose vehicle had broken down.

Family members say Guffie—who was expecting her third child—was trying to assist during a moment of need when she was struck and killed.

Authorities allege that Quintin King hit Guffie with such force that she was thrown a significant distance. Despite this, he allegedly continued driving.

In a statement to investigators, King reportedly admitted he knew he had hit “something” but did not believe it was serious enough to stop.

Instead of calling for help, he drove away from the scene, leaving Guffie on the highway. She later died from her injuries.

King was arrested hours later, with officials reportedly finding evidence connected to the crash at his residence. However, his subsequent release on house arrest has sparked outrage among Guffie’s family and members of the community.

The case has drawn widespread attention, with loved ones questioning how a driver who allegedly acknowledged hitting a person could be allowed to return home while a family prepares for burial.

Guffie is being remembered as a caring and selfless woman who lost her life while helping a family member. Her death has intensified calls for accountability and renewed focus on hit-and-run laws in Chicago.

Family members and supporters are urging the public to share her story and are calling on local officials, including the State’s Attorney’s Office, to pursue justice in the case.

The investigation into the fatal I-290 East hit-and-run remains ongoing.
