Man turns himself in as the driver of a fatal Miami hit-and-run after a good samaritan reports to police
A man is behind bars in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian in Miami.
Deshawn Daniels, 41, was charged with leaving the scene of a crash resulting in death, according to his arrest report.
According to Miami police, Daniels did not slow down or stop after hitting Antonio Sanchez, 62, who later died at the hospital.
The incident happened on Friday, shortly before 3:30 a.m., in the area of Northwest 12th Avenue and 28th Street.
The report said it was an anonymous citizen who went to the Miami police station and told the front desk that there was a beige SUV in their apartment complex that matched the description of surveillance video they saw on the local news.
Detectives arrived at the apartment and reviewed the videos to confirm that it was the same car that hit Sanchez. The damage on the front of the SUV also matched what they were looking for, which Miami Police spokesperson Mike Vega said was “extensive damage in the front end.”
While they were investigating, Daniels turned himself in voluntarily at the Miami police station, admitting that he was the driver involved in the crash.
Police said at the time of the incident that if Daniels hadn’t stopped, he wouldn’t have faced any charges since the light was green when Sanchez crossed the street. However, because he left the scene of the crash, he is facing a felony charge.
A Texas-based company called Mooney International says it has formally submitted a bid to acquire Spirit Airlines and related assets, according to an announcement released Sunday.
In a statement, Mooney International said its proposal would combine operations involving Spirit Airlines, Mooney International and SEAir under what it described as a shared focus on affordable and accessible air travel. The company said the proposal aims to preserve the Spirit Airlines brand while pursuing long-term growth and operational improvements.
“Our objective is not only to preserve the Spirit Airlines legacy, but to create a new chapter focused on operational excellence, enhanced customer experience, expanded route connectivity, sustainable aviation initiatives, and long-term growth,” the company said in its announcement.
If the acquisition is approved, Mooney International said it would seek to maintain the Spirit Airlines brand, expand affordable travel options, invest in fleet and technology improvements, and create stronger connections between Spirit Airlines, Mooney International and SEAir. The company also said its plans include supporting aviation jobs, tourism and economic development while advancing sustainable aviation fuel initiatives.
Spirit Airlines, headquartered in South Florida, is one of the nation’s largest ultra-low-cost carriers and serves dozens of destinations across the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean.
The announcement did not disclose financial terms of the proposed acquisition or provide a timeline for any potential transaction. It is also unclear whether other bidders are involved or what regulatory approvals may be required before any deal could move forward.
The proposed acquisition comes as the airline industry continues to face evolving market conditions, competition among low-cost carriers and growing demand for affordable travel options.
