SHARON HILL, Pa. - A 27-year-old mother-of-two was killed last month when she was hit by a vehicle that fled the scene, and now police say the suspected driver is in custody.
Domair Brown, 31, was wanted by police say for the deadly hit-and-run of Ashley McLean-Gaylor. An arrest warrant was issued earlier this week, official says he has since been apprehended.
McLean-Gaylor, a mother two young girls and daughter of a Delaware County police officer, was crossing Lindbergh Boulevard when she was fatally struck on August 26.
Police say the striking vehicle, a 2023 Honda Accord bearing a New York tag of LDM-2367, drove off, leaving the young mother for dead. The vehicle was later discovered by police.
Arrest made in Southwest Philadelphia hit-and-run that killed young mother, driver still sought
A 27-year-old is dead after police say she was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene in Southwest Philadelphia Saturday morning.
Last month, 43-year-old Monia Tabon was arrested for filing a false police report in connection to the hit-and-run.
Tabon claimed to be in Miami when she reported her rental car stolen from outside her aunt's home in Sharon Hill, according to a police affidavit.
When the vehicle was found abandoned by police after the hit-and-run, the affidavit said there were no signs of forced entry or evidence that the vehicle was stolen.
Tabon is charged with filing a false report and criminal use of a communication facility.
Officials say Brown will be arraigned Thursday on several charges, including homicide by vehicle.
