Hit-and-Run Driver Finally Arrested | New Orleans News

New Orleans police made a shocking arrest after four years of chasing a ghost — Destiny Goodman, 26, the driver behind a deadly 2022 hit-and-run that killed two people. The crash, on April 17, 2022, at the intersection of North Miro and Pauger, involved a Chevrolet Suburban driving the wrong way, slamming into cars and pedestrians. Joseph Clark died instantly; Senetta Hodges succumbed later. The driver and passengers fled — until a routine traffic stop, where a fake name gave officers the clue they needed. The lead detective confirmed it was Goodman, who had outstanding warrants. During the stop, she admitted to being the driver — and the case, long cold, finally closed. Police hailed the arrest as proof that even small moments can lead to big breakthroughs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
