Teen Girl Killed in Hit-and-Run | Newark News

A 26-year-old man from Bloomfield has been arrested in connection with a fatal hit-and-run that killed a 17-year-old girl from Newark. Charged with vehicular homicide and leaving the scene of a crash, surveillance shows his gray sedan speeding into the victim. Though an officer stopped to help, witnesses say he followed the suspect instead. The suspect later contacted police, confessed, and surrendered — while the Attorney General’s Office investigates separately, Essex County prosecutors now lead the case.
