A hit-and-run driver killed a North Miami man. Watch a detective talk about the case
Miami-Dade police are looking for the hit-and-run driver who ended pedestrian Cesar Peñaherrera’s life at Northeast 114th Street and Biscayne Boulevard around 5:20 a.m. May 23.
Peñaherrera’s Facebook page said he lived in North Miami and was born in the Bronx. He was 51.
“Mr. Herrera was utilizing the crosswalk when a red Volkswagen Jetta struck him, vaulting him onto the roadway,” Miami-Dade police traffic homicide detective Eduardo Diaz says in a video put out by the department as part of its “Help Us Catch a Murderer” series. “Mr. Herrera was just walking to work early in the morning, as many of us do, when he was struck by a vehicle that left him on the roadway, causing his death.”
The video includes footage of two men who, Diaz said, jumped out of the Jetta and into another car.
Anyone with information on this homicide can contact Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers either online or at 305-471-8477 (TIPS).
