St. Petersburg police used a Flock license plate reader to identify a vehicle wanted in a fatal hit-and-run crash, agency officials said. <\/p>\n

Ashleigh Az’Janae Zinn, 30, was arrested early Friday morning. <\/p>\n

Using Flock license plate readers, St. Petersburg Police Department officers located the Kia Forte involved in a fatal hit-and-run crash on Aug. 8.<\/p>\n

A warrant was then issued for her Zinn\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n

Hillsborough County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies arrested Zinn and booked her into the Hillsborough County Jail at 12:06 a.m.<\/p>\n

On Aug. 8 at 2 a.m., a red Kia Forte driven by Zinn was traveling south on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street South, approaching the intersection of 15th Avenue South , when it struck a woman.<\/p>\n

The woman, 47, was walking west in the marked crosswalk across Dr. MLK Jr. Street S. at the intersection with 15th Avenue South.<\/p>\n

The Kia Forte struck the pedestrian and then fled the scene without stopping to help the victim or call for help.<\/p>\n

The victim was transported to Orlando Health Bayfront Hospital where she was pronounced dead.<\/p>\n

Zinn is awaiting extradition to Pinellas County Jail to face a charge of
failure to stop\/remain at a crash involving death.<\/p>\n
