DETROIT (WWJ) -- A Detroit man has been arraigned on a pair of felony charges after it's alleged he drove recklessly, killing a Detroit woman.
According to the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, 24-year-old Leonardo Emmanuel Munoz-Gutierrez fled the scene following the deadly crash just before 5 p.m. on Monday, May 16.
Detroit police officers responded to the scene, at the intersection of Livernois Avenue and Dragoon Street, on a call about a pedestrian hit-and-run.
There officers found 32-year-old Iris Liciaga, lying unresponsive on the ground.
She was pronounced dead at the scene.
It's alleged, prosecutors said, that Munoz-Gutierrez was driving southbound on Livernois when he ignored a curve in the road, which led him to drive on the sidewalk. He hit a parked car before hitting Liciaga, who was on foot.
Munoz-Gutierrez drove away, according to authorities, but turned himself in a Detroit Police precinct a few days later.
