OAK PARK, Mich. – A 29-year-old man will spend less than a year in jail for a hit-and-run that killed a 71-year-old veteran in a wheelchair in Oakland County.
Devin Asa-Armon Light was sentenced Thursday, May 21, to 330 days in jail, followed by two years of probation.
The crash happened early Nov. 22, 2025, in Oak Park on Nine Mile Road, near Greenfield Road and Harding Street.
Police said the victim, who was in a wheelchair, was struck by an eastbound dark-colored sedan, believed to be a Hyundai. First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the 71-year-old man died at the scene.
Detroit police later recovered an abandoned 2024 Hyundai Elantra that matched the suspect vehicle. Light, of Southfield, was taken into custody in January.
He was charged with failure to stop at the scene of a crash resulting in death. In April, Light pleaded no contest to the charge.
