An exotic dancer drove drunk and with a suspended license after leaving a Miami nightclub Saturday when she ran over and killed three teenaged soccer players.

North Miami police said on Tuesday that Mariam Coulibaly, 31, faces three counts of DUI manslaughter and three counts of vehicular manslaughter.

Coulibaly had reportedly been working Saturday at the unnamed strip club and was drinking for most of the night. After finishing up, she left sometime around 5 A.M.

While this was happening, teenagers Gideon Desir, 13; Lens Desir, 15; and Richecarde Dumay, 17, were heading down to a local bus stop around the same time. The three were members of the Little Haiti Football Club and were waiting for a bus to Weston, Florida, for a soccer tournament.

As the trio waited for the bus, Coulibaly struck the three teens. Coulibaly, herself, was also injured as a result of the accident and was transported to Aventura Hospital and Medical Center for treatment.

“The North Miami Police Department will continue to work with the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office to ensure the prosecution of this case,” police said in a statement to press. It continued, “Furthermore, we will collaborate with our community partners to assist and provide support to the victims’ families.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the families of the three boys pay for funeral expenses.
