CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police have arrested a man suspected of being the driver who fled the scene after fatally hitting a woman in Carthage in September.
Police have charged 23-year-old Jenry Rodriguez Gonzalez with failing to stop after an accident and tampering with evidence. According to CPD, they identified Rodriguez-Gonzalez as the driver involved in the crash on Nov. 19.
On September 26, at around 6 a.m., CPD responded to the 7200 block of Vine Street in Carthage after reports of a fatal crash.
Officers found that an unknown vehicle heading northbound on Vine Street struck a woman walking into the roadway before fleeing the scene.
Court documents identify the woman killed as Kristy Luckett. Luckett was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, CPD said.
