A 46-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run in northwest Miami-Dade over the weekend, authorities said.
Edwin Serrano faces charges of leaving the scene of a crash involving death, the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office (MDSO) confirmed.
According to deputies, the incident occurred shortly before 5:30 a.m. Sunday near the 3400 block of Northwest 32nd Avenue. Surveillance footage reportedly shows Serrano driving his 2017 Cadillac Escalade on the outside northbound lane of 32nd Avenue when the victim, 26-year-old Stefhany Reconco-Rosales, was walking eastbound on the south side of Northwest 35th Street.
The vehicle struck Reconco-Rosales, vaulting her onto the roadway. Video footage captured Serrano briefly slowing, then accelerating away from the scene. The victim was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital, where she later died.
Investigators later located Serrano’s Cadillac in Miami. Serrano turned himself in at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he invoked his right to an attorney and declined to give a statement, according to the arrest report. He was then formally arrested.
Authorities continue to investigate the incident.
