Question: In Fast Five, what happened to Letty?

Answer: Letty dies in Fast & Furious (number #4 film). Fenix, a member of a drug crew that runs drug operations through caves under the Mexican border, runs down Letty. Her car then flips on its back side. Fenix shoots Letty.

The scene is shown through the mind of Vin Diesel, who recreates Letty's death scene. Vin Diesel's Dominic returns to the states to avenge the death of his sweet Letty. Letty will no longer be a part of any Fast and the Furious movie, though there is a possibility the producers may resurrect Letty in a future Fast and the Furious film to feed the demand. As for now:
