In June, Treasure Liggins was driving at East 105 Street and Avenue D in Brownsville, Brooklyn, when she lost control of her 2007 Infiniti and fatally struck a man on a bike, according to court documents and news reports.

The man was identified as Mohammed Abdullah, 29. Mr. Abdullah was on an electric bike at the time, the Brooklyn district attorney’s office said.

Ms. Liggins, 22, was charged with multiple counts, including second-degree manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide. She was intoxicated at the time of the incident, according to court papers.
