ONTARIO >> Police have arrested a 20-year-old Pomona woman in connection with a fatal hit-and-run collision early Sunday.
Tanya Quintero was booked into West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and hit-and-run resulting in death, Ontario police said in a statement.
Police received a call of a vehicle-versus-pedestrian hit-and-run collision at about 1:35 a.m. Officers found Darryl Sevesind, 24, of Ontario dead in the roadway in the 1900 block of Laurel Avenue, authorities said.
Witnesses told police two females and a male were cruising by an ex-boyfriend’s house several times, playing loud music and throwing trash into the yard. After this occurred several times, Sevesind, who lives on Laurel Avenue, stepped out to confront the driver while she was making a U-turn.
The driver, later determined to be Quintero, allegedly struck the victim and fled, a police statement says.
Police said they found a gray Honda Civic involved in the incident a short distance away. The car was unoccupied and parked in the 100 block of East De Anaza Circle.
Quintero was inside the residence along with the two other vehicle occupants, police said.
All of the parties were interviewed and Quintero was identified as the driver, a police statement said.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call police Detective Jeff Wentz at 909-395-2715.
Correction: This story has been updated to correct the spelling of Darryl Sevesind’s last name, which was originally reported as Sevecino.
