Fresno police arrest suspect in hit-and-run that injured boy
Police arrested Aman Kumar hours after a southeast Fresno hit-and-run left a 4-year-old boy in critical but stable condition near Peach and Nevada avenues.
Fresno police arrested 31-year-old Aman Kumar hours after a hit-and-run in southeast Fresno left a 4-year-old boy injured and hospitalized. The crash happened around 8:05 p.m. Tuesday near Peach and Nevada avenues, after investigators said the child got into the street when a side gate at a home was accidentally left open.
The boy was later reported in critical but stable condition. That detail turned a late-evening traffic collision into a serious public-safety case for families in the neighborhood around Peach and Nevada avenues, where the crash unfolded in a residential area of southeast Fresno.
Police said they tracked Kumar down and arrested him within hours of the hit-and-run. That quick identification gave the case an immediate accountability angle, since the driver did not remain at large for long after a collision that left a young child hurt.
The case continued after the arrest. On May 22, ICE detained Kumar outside the Fresno courthouse, adding a federal custody step to a case that began with a child in the roadway and a driver accused of leaving the scene.
