PHOENIX – A man has reportedly been charged with murder in Chicago for allegedly running into a Chandler woman with his SUV and circling back to hit her again.
Zoraleigh Ryan, 55, was crossing a street Monday night with her adult daughter when the SUV hit them, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Witnesses told police the alleged driver, 25-year-old Edgar Roman, got out of his vehicle and looked at the victims before driving at them again and dragging Ryan several feet, the newspaper reported.
Roman allegedly fled the scene and eluded police before abandoning his Ford Explorer and reporting it stolen. He was arrested at the station when he made the stolen vehicle report.
