Man charged with murder in fatal Boston hit-and-run
A Boston man has been arrested and charged with murder after allegedly hitting and killing both a pedestrian and a dog Saturday morning at Commonwealth Avenue Mall.
Police responded to the intersection of Commonwealth and Hereford Street around 8:09 a.m. At the scene, Boston Emergency Medical Services treated the victim, an adult man, who was later transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
BDP did not release the name of the victim. After his autopsy is completed Sunday and his family is notified, police said they would release the victim’s identity.
The suspect allegedly drove into the Commonwealth Avenue Mall, struck both the man and the dog, then fled.
Boston Police obtained the license and registration for the vehicle allegedly involved in the incident, which Brookline Police then located, unoccupied.
Officers from Boston and Brookline, working with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, were then able to find and arrest 42-year-old William Haney.
Haney faces charges of murder and animal cruelty and is expected to be arraigned at Boston Municipal Court on Monday.
