Race Day Live (Dallas, TX) – U.S. Marshals have found and arrested the suspect in a deadly hit-and-run in Illinois. This happened in a town in Texas, south of Dallas.
Juan Jahaziel Saenz-Suarez, a 27-year-old Mexican citizen who lived in Urbana, Illinois, is accused of hitting Chloe Polzin, 21, and Katherine Abraham, 20, in a crash in Urbana on Jan. 19 just before 2 a.m.
Authorities found out that Saenz-Suarez owned a red Mitsubishi Outlander that caused a deadly crash. They got an arrest warrant for him on January 20, according to a news release from Urbana police on Wednesday.
The U.S. Marshals Service found Saenz-Suarez in Milford, Texas, which is about an hour south of Dallas. He was on an El Expreso bus that was going to Matamoros, Mexico, according to the cops.
“A subsequent request for assistance was sent to the USMS [Northern District of Texas (N/TX) North Texas Fugitive Task Force],” the USMS said in a separate press release. “Deputy United States Marshals (DUSM) and USMS Task Force Officers (TFO) took Saenz-Suarez safely into custody at approximately 0915 hours CST for further transportation to the Dallas County Jail, Texas, to await extradition.”
