Police arrest suspect in fatal hit skip of Cleveland 7-year-old

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Cleveland police have arrested the suspect in the hit-and-run accident that took the life of seven-year-old Amir Maclin.

Donald Mynatt, 32, is charged with not stopping after an accident and causing a death.

U.S. Marshals arrested Mynatt around 9:15 a.m. Wednesday at an apartment building in the 4800 block of E. 355th St. in Willoughby.

According to police, around 7:20 p.m. on Aug. 16, Amir was riding his skateboard in the parking lot at 16024 Lakeshore Blvd. when he was struck by a large SUV.

The little boy was dragged under the vehicle and the driver continued out of the parking lot and fled the scene.

Amir was transported to a local hospital where he later died from his injuries.

“The loss of Amir has impacted our community and the Division of Police. Our teams have worked tirelessly investigating and following all leads to bring closure for Amir’s family. We ask the community to keep his family in your prayers,” said Cleveland Police Chief Dorothy Todd.
