Police have arrested two more individuals in connection with a hit-and-run last year in Commerce City that killed an 18-year-old and hospitalized three family members.
Authorities in October charged Erik Hernandez-Escobar, 20, with vehicular homicide, vehicular assault, false reporting of identifying information to law enforcement and two counts of leaving the scene of a fatal accident. He also faced three traffic charges: speed exhibition, driving without insurance and failing to stop at a stop sign.
Police previously said Hernandez-Escobar was street racing in his Audi SUV around 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 6 when he struck a family of four in their car near the intersection of Holly Street and East 58th Avenue.
Emiliano Malpica Medina, 18, was killed in the crash. His parents and another teenage passenger were also seriously injured.
Hernandez-Escobar and his passengers immediately got out, jumped into a nearby car and fled the scene, police said.
On Thursday, police announced in a Facebook post that they have arrested the other individual who was street racing and the getaway driver.
Elian Marte Agramonte, who was racing Hernandez-Escobar, was arrested on investigation of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault charges, police said.
Raquel Lujan Flores, who helped Hernandez-Escobar escape the scene and evade arrest, was arrested on investigation of three counts of accessory to the crime charges.
