A driver has been charged with vehicular homicide and DUI in connection with the hit-and-run death of a pedestrian in Aurora.
Prisma Rodriguez-Ramirez, 21, of Aurora, has been charged in the death of Antonio Colson, 36, who was hit Dec. 30 by a black Land Rover near the intersection of East Colfax Avenue and Nome Street, according to an Adams County district attorney’s news release.
Colson was crossing Nome Street with his wife at about 11:30 p.m. when the vehicle traveling west on East Colfax struck him. He died of his injuries. The driver fled the scene.
Rodriguez-Ramirez, who is free on $20,000 bail, was advised of the charges — which also include leaving the scene and of having no insurance — against her on Tuesday in an Adams County court.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled March 3.
