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.
....
The two teen drivers and Herrin’s older brother, a passenger in his car, were taken into custody at the scene. Cameron Herrin, 18, and Barrineau, 17, each face two counts of vehicular homicide and street racing. They were freed from the county jail on Thursday after each posted $10,000 bail. Tristin Herrin, 20, who faces a misdemeanor charge of racing, was freed that same day after posting $500 bail.
The Herrins’ address was listed as the home of their parents, Chris and Cheryl Herrin, on Gardner Court just south of the accident scene. The Herrins paid $1.4 million for the house in 2005. Cheryl Herrin was a vice president for State Farm Florida and is a former member of the Citizens Property Insurance board of governors. Chris Herrin works as a videographer/editor, says his account with the online LinkedIn business network. ... Barrineau’s address is just down the street from where Raubenolt’s uncle lives. Barrineau also works nearby, as a part-time bus boy at the Tampa Yacht & Country Club.
