MIAMI (WSVN) – Police said that the man involved in a hit-and-run that killed a pedestrian in Miami is behind bars after he turned himself in.<\/p>\n
41-year-old Deshawn Daniels surrendered to police Saturday, following a fatal crash that claimed the life of 62-year-old Antonio Sanchez.<\/p>\n
Police received an anonymous tip Saturday that led them to the location of an SUV which matched the description of the car involved in the incident.<\/p>\n
According to Daniels\u2019 arrest report, the officers at the location found that the vehicle was \u201cproperly parked with damage, that was consistent with striking a pedestrian.\u201d<\/p>\n
In that time, officers said that Daniels turned himself in, and Daniels said that he was driving the vehicle involved in the hit and run.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video captured the moment that Sanchez was crossing the intersection on the crosswalk on Northwest 12th Avenue and 28th Street when he was hit by the SUV.<\/p>\n
The beige colored SUV struck the man, with police saying that Daniels drove away and left Sanchez for dead..<\/p>\n
\u201cI went outside, I heard the loud bang, I went outside and called 911 immediately,\u201d said Axel Martinez. \u201cIt breaks my heart. It absolutely breaks my heart to see this.\u201d<\/p>\n
First responders arrived and rushed Sanchez to Ryder Trauma Center, where he succumbed to his injuries.<\/p>\n
Sanchez\u2019s loved ones are now in mourning.<\/p>\n
Daniels is now charged with leaving the scene of a crash involving death, and is expected to appear in court sometime this week.<\/p>\n
