July 9, 2010 (East San Diego) – Samuel Metu has been arrested for felony hit-and-run. Metu was the driver of a 2000 Toyota Corolla that struck and killed a four-year-old boy in the 6700 block of Madrone Avenue in the Skyline neighborhood shortly before noon today.

 

The victim’s 12-year-old brother had crossed the street to get a dog and told the youngster to wait on the sidewalk, but the child ran into the street. After the accident, Metu left the scene but later returned. The boy was taken to a hospital, where he later died.
