A 2-year-old is dead
South Carolina authorities say Haisha Dominguez Marin, 2, died Wednesday night in a hit-and-run crash in North Charleston.
Found at the intersection
North Charleston police said officers found the toddler dead near Rivers Avenue and Eagle Drive.
The truck led them home
Investigators traced the crash to a 2020 Toyota Tacoma, then went to the address the truck was registered to and found the driver.
She heard a bang
Anayely Lovato Guerrero, 27, told officers she had left Goodwill and driven past the area. She heard a noise, saw nothing, and kept going.
“She said she heard a bang but did not notice anything, so she continued driving.”
Charges for the driver
Guerrero was arrested on charges that include reckless homicide and leaving the scene of an accident involving death.
The guardian arrested too
Police said evidence disputed the account of how the child was being supervised. Glaimar Alejandra Ramirez Dominguez, 21, faces charges including unlawful conduct toward a child.
“The circumstances surrounding the care and supervision of the juvenile were disputed by the evidence available to detectives.”
