Miami police arrested and identified the subject who unscrupulously ran over a 71-year-old Hispanic woman Thursday morning, causing the death.
The report released by the local press indicates the person is responding to the name of Jonah Desaulniers, 23, who threw his car at the woman and then fled.
The victim, in turn, was identified as Mercedes López, who was walking on 27th Avenue southwest of Miami before they took their own lives.

After carefully examining the surveillance cameras, the police determined that it was not an accident, but an “intentional and malicious” act.
Miami Police Department spokeswoman Kiara Delva revealed that the killer stole the victim’s own car and used it to run over her. It is worth noting that the car was parked before it forcibly got into the hands of Desaulniers.
One of investigators’ hypotheses is that after the robbery, Mercedes López may have reacted and in one way or another tried to bring him about, resulting in the person jumping on her.
It emerged that five minutes later, Coral Gables police reported another hit-and-run accident at the intersection of Miracle Mile and Salzedo Street, and shortly thereafter an officer claimed to have seen the same car drive past the town.
After being intercepted, Jonah Desaulniers had no choice but to exit the vehicle as he was arrested by security forces.
He was transferred to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he remains without bail and is charged with first-degree murder.
