US EditionDriver Charged in Deadly Little Havana Hit-and-Run Faces Judge, Denies Telling Police ‘It Was Just a Homeless Person’
- On Saturday, Ivana Gomez faced Miami-Dade Circuit Court where Judge William Altfield handled her case on charges of fleeing after a deadly crash in Little Havana.
- The crash took place early Friday morning at the intersection near Southwest 22nd Avenue and 7th Street, where Gomez allegedly struck 41-year-old Kathryn Kipnis while speeding; a DUI charge is possible pending toxicology results.
- Prosecutor Laura Adams described the impact as severe, stating that the victim's head went through the windshield and hair was caught on the passenger seat belt as Gomez fled until stopped by traffic.
- The court set bail at $250,000 despite prosecutors requesting $1 million, with Gomez ordered to remain on house arrest, surrender her passport, and abstain from drinking or driving if released.
- Gomez could face additional charges including vehicular homicide as authorities await evidence from the vehicle’s black box and a toxicology report, while prosecutors called her a danger to Miami streets.
