On Tuesday, Orlando police said they had caught the person who hit and left the scene of an accident that hurt a 5-year-old girl.
Police say that the girl was hurt on February 19 in the area of Woods Avenue and Colyer Street by a driver who hit her and then drove away. When she was hit, she was riding her bike. She had slight bruises that were taken care of.
Officers also found out about a shooting scene at the corner of West South Street and South Lee Avenue, which they figured was caused by the hit-and-run.
On April 14, police saw what they thought was the car that hit and ran, and they were finally able to catch the driver.
Detectives say that the suspect admitted to causing the hit-and-run accident and firing a gun at the little girl’s mother to scare her.
Nahshon Joseph, who is 22 years old, was charged with having a gun even though he had been guilty of a felony, running away from or trying to get away from a police officer, and fighting an officer without using violence. When it comes to the hit-and-run, there will be more charges.
