Few details after fatal pedestrian hit- and- run

- By Tara O’Neill

BRIDGEPORT — Details regarding a hit- andrun that killed a pedestrian Friday morning were scarce Saturday. Officials could not be reached to confirm the identifica­tion of the victim or the person arrested.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at Bridgeport Hospital after being hit by a vehicle that fled at the intersecti­on of Boston and Kent avenues around 11 a. m. Friday, according to police, who said a suspect was quickly apprehende­d, and would face charges.

The arrest log at the Bridgeport Police Depart- ment available Saturday morning indicated that three people were charged with motor vehicle- related violations on Friday.

One of those, according to the arrest log, was 24year- old Robert Howard Dominguez, of Walnut Tree Hill Road in Shelton, who was charged with operating an unregister­ed motor vehicle and evading responsibi­lity after a crash that resulted in death.

It could not be immediatel­y confirmed, though, the incident that led to charges against Dominguez was the same one in which the pedestrian was killed at Boston and Kent avenues.
