A 32-year-old Harlingen woman is in custody in connection with a hit-and-run crash that killed a pedestrian, according to police.
Jennifer Banda was arrested on Friday, the Harlingen Police Department announced in a Sunday news release. Banda was charged with collision involving death, tampering with evidence and false report, the release stated.
Banda’s arrest stems from a hit-and-run crash that killed 71-year-old Aida Garcia on Friday, Jan. 10 at the 300 block of North Business 77.
