The victim, 41-year-old Rosa Mar Espinosa Rodas, was crossing Market Street at 36th Street in Philadelphia when she was hit by a 2012 Honda Accord driven by 30-year-old Shamir Miller. The suspect then continued driving, reportedly crashing into a 2013 Buick LaCrosse just two blocks away near 34th Street, as reported by local CBS affiliate KYW.

Following this second crash, authorities allege that Miller abandoned his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot. He was subsequently apprehended by police officers near the intersection of 32nd and Market Streets after a brief chase, according to KYW reports.

Emergency responders arrived swiftly at the scene of the initial hit-and-run involving Espinosa Rodas, but despite their efforts, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Buick, who sustained neck and back injuries, was taken to the hospital and was reported to be in stable condition over the weekend.

Paramedics quickly arrived at the scene after the hit-and-run on Espinosa Rodas, but they were unable to resuscitate her. She was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was hospitalized with neck and back injuries. She was listed as being in stable condition over the weekend.

According to reports, Espinosa Rodas worked near the intersection where the hit-and-run happened and had just left her place of employment to go on her lunch break. Nicaraguan media outlets, including Articulo 66 and Pixel Channel Nicaragua, describe her as a Nicaragua native who was living and working in Philadelphia. The outlets, along with local ABC affiliate WPVI, allege that Miller was speeding and driving recklessly before the hit-and-run occurred. Police have not released any information on what caused the crashes.

Espinosa Rodas” family is reportedly trying to raise money to have her body returned to Nicaragua, where they plan to bury her.

Miller has been charged with murder, homicide by vehicle, and aggravated assault in connection with the two alleged incidents. It is unclear when his next court date is.
