Travis Wolfe was one short day away from getting to celebrate his 12th birthday when his car was slammed into head-on by Endrina Bracho, a Venezuelan migrant who didn’t even have a driver’s license. Wolfe then died at the hospital on March 6 when he was taken off life support. Now, the Missouri boy’s big sister is speaking out about his tragic death.
Bracho, the 33-year-old illegal immigrant without a license who allegedly killed little Travis Wolfe, was not only driving without a license while in the country illegally but was disobeying a bevy of traffic laws. Particularly, Bracho was flying down the road at 70 miles an hour in a 40-mile-an-hour zone, while going the wrong direction.
Speaking to “Fox & Friends” on Thursday, March 14, Taylor Wolfe said that she found out about the tragic accident when she saw a notification from her Life360 app that the family car suddenly came to a stop on the road. Not able to contact anyone in the car, Taylor headed to the scene of the accident and found the horrific aftermath.
She told the hosts, when speaking about her young brother’s death at the hands of an illegal immigrant, “It makes me really angry.” Speaking about Bracho’s horrific behavior, Wolfe argued that everyone has to get a license to show they know how to drive, saying, “Everybody here has to get a driver’s license, and we all have to learn how to drive, and we have to take a test to get our license.”
Continuing, she added that Bracho did none of those required things before driving and then went on to kill Travis Wolfe while driving illegally while her illegally, saying, “And she didn’t do that, first of all. Second of all, she wasn’t supposed to be here. And if she would have just came here legally, they would have had the documents on her to be able to get insurance.”
Emphasizing the devastating impact of Bracho’s irresponsible and illegal behavior on the Wolfe family, which is now suffering in the aftermath of Travis’ death, Taylor said, “Now my family is stuck with the loss of a child because she didn’t know how to drive.”
In addition to Travis being killed by Bracho, other members of the Wolfe family were also injured. Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe suffered serious injuries from the head-on collision, including broken wrists, broken ribs, and a broken sternum.

Bracho is, at least, now in jail. She is currently being held in the St. Louis County jail on a $500,000 bond. She faces a slew of charges, including involuntary manslaughter in the first degree, two counts of assault in the second degree, two counts of endangering a child in the first degree, an done count of operating a vehicle without a valid license.

A GoFundMe for the Wolfe family has raised about $29,000 out of a $50,000 goal. A tragically sad update to it provided, “Yesterday 3/6 Travis was taken off life support. He will be forever remembered as a funny kid with a huge heart and a love for Blues Hockey. Please continue to support the family as the bills continue to grow. All the love and support is felt by the family.”
