The Georgia teen charged with fatally running over a beloved math teacher in a high school prank-gone-wrong posted an eerie message online about being “saved” — as he now faces up to 15 years in prison.
Jayden Wallace, 18, is now facing vehicular homicide charges in the death of Jason Hughes after the teen and his pals tossed toilet paper rolls at the beloved North Hall High School teacher’s home.
Wallace proudly posted about his Christian faith, noting Bible verse Roman 10:9 on his Instagram.
“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved,” he wrote.
Wallace faces the most serious charges of the suspects involved in Hughes’ death, including first-degree vehicular homicide, reckless driving, criminal trespass and littering on private property. He faces three to 15 years in prison, if convicted on the top charge.His alleged co-pranksters — Elijah Owens, Aiden Hucks, Ana Katherine Luque and Ariana Cruz, all 18 — were arrested outside Hughes’ home and charged with criminal trespass and littering, WSBTV reported.
The teens’ social media accounts revealed that they are all close friends with a bright future ahead of them.
Like Wallace, Cruz expressed her love for Jesus on her Instagram, with one post revealing that she traveled on a religious mission to the Dominican Republic to spread the word of God.
Luque was a student involved with the Distributive Education Clubs of America club, with the teen planning to pursue a career in medicine to become a surgeon, according to the high school.
It remains unclear why the teens targeted Hughes’ Gainesville home on Thursday night, with police still investigating the incident.
Hughes allegedly spotted pranksters “rolling” toilet paper across his property at around 11:40 p.m., according to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office.
The 40-year-old educator allegedly tripped and fell into the road as Wallace drove his pickup truck away, running over the homeowner.
The teen driver and two others stopped to check on Hughes, providing first aid until emergency responders arrived and transported him to the hospital, where he died as a result of his injuries.
Wallace is currently being held on a $1,950 bond, according to jail records viewed by The Post.
