Hit-and-Run in North Dakota | Fargo News

A 22-year-old man in North Dakota faces manslaughter and leaving the scene charges after a fatal hit-and-run on I-94 that killed 27-year-old Jerson Mejia—whose body was found days after he was struck while walking along the highway. Authorities tracked down the suspect using an anonymous tip and a damaged pickup truck, with a broken bug shield found near the crash site. Mejia had been seen walking near the interstate the night before and declined help. The case, handled by State’s Attorney Tonya Duffy, is set for a court hearing August 27, and the victim’s family is anxious about potential plea deals.
