MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A man is facing vehicular homicide and hit-and-run charges after allegedly mowing down two pedestrians on Collins Avenue Wednesday night and fleeing the scene on foot into a nearby Walgreens, authorities said.<\/p>\n
Adan Negron-Morris, 42, was arrested Thursday and booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in connection with the deaths of Sarisa Kongduang and Greatgomon Laowatdhanasapya.<\/p>\n
According to Miami Beach Police, Negron-Morris was driving a black Nissan Sentra eastbound on 71st Street toward Collins Avenue at approximately 9:07 p.m. without headlights and in a reckless manner. A Miami Beach officer conducting a high-visibility patrol in the area of Indian Creek Drive observed the vehicle and attempted to respond as multiple 911 calls simultaneously came in reporting the driver\u2019s behavior.<\/p>\n
Negron-Morris turned north onto Collins Avenue and struck both pedestrians as the vehicle entered the intersection at 73rd Street. <\/p>\n
The car continued to 74th Street and Collins Avenue before coming to a stop. Negron-Morris then exited the vehicle and fled on foot into a nearby Walgreens, where witnesses directed responding officers to his location. <\/p>\n
He was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n
Kongduang and Laowatdhanasapya were transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital\u2019s Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition, where they later died from their injuries.<\/p>\n
Negron-Morris faces two counts of vehicular homicide and two counts of leaving the scene of a crash involving death. <\/p>\n
