NO SLEEP TILL BROOKLYN: Suspected hit-and-run killer heading back for justice
Police in New York were awaiting the return of a man arrested in Pennsylvania in connection with a gruesome car crash that killed a pregnant woman and her husband on their way to a hospital.
Julio Acevedo, after days of talk that he would surrender, quietly walked to officers waiting in cars in a Bethlehem, Pa., convenience store parking lot on Wednesday and was arrested on charges of leaving the scene of an accident, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said.
Acevedo was ordered held without bail on a charge of being a fugitive from justice late Wednesday during a video hearing, and a judge said he’d face an extradition hearing Thursday to address his return to New York. Acevedo said he understood.
The judge said it was expected Acevedo would waive extradition, meaning he’d agree to return to New York.
