AUSTIN (KXAN) A man was arrested Thursday in relation to the death of a 4-year-old girl following a July 11 hit-and-run crash in southeast Travis County.

According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, 66-year-old David Reynoso Jaimes was booked into the Travis County Jail on a warrant for manslaughter, a second-degree felony.

Jail records show he remained booked as of Friday on a $100,000 bond.

According to Jaimes’ arrest warrant, while driving away from a separate hit-and-run crash that occurred near William Cannon Drive and U.S. 183, Jaimes drove into a vehicle stopped at a red light on FM 812.

After striking the second vehicle, a child passenger in the back seat of that vehicle was partially ejected. The child was unconscious and not breathing after the crash, according to documents.

A nurse who happened to be near the area stopped and performed chest compressions on the child, who was identified as 4-year-old Alaia Rose Carrizales, until Travis County Fire arrived and took over.

Documents said Alaia died at the scene, while Jaimes and two others from the second vehicle were taken to the hospital for treatment.

According to court documents, Jaimes’ driver’s license expired in 1996.

Sources tell that Jaimes was in the country illegally from Mexico.

His first run-in with law enforcement was back in 1997, when Jaimes was convicted of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. He was sentenced to 108 months in prison and 60 months special parole.

He was then deported in May 2005. He then came back as a “gotaway.”

According to an affidavit obtained by , Jaimes rear-ended a vehicle and then sped away, using the right turn-only lane to pass backed-up traffic and even driving on the grassy median at one point.

Jaimes does not have a lawyer or a set court date.

Typically, in such cases, the suspect would serve a prison sentence in the United States and then be deported.

Given his previous history of deportation and criminal record, he is likely to face serious legal consequences, including potential imprisonment and mandatory deportation after serving his sentence.
