Carlos Reyes, 46, has been charged in connection to a fatal pedestrian collision that occurred on March 27 in Springfield. He faces serious charges including leaving the scene of a death and driving with a suspended license after striking 30-year-old Aronde Odom, a local skateboarder. Odom's community is mourning his death, conducting vigils, and has initiated a petition to rename a skatepark in his memory. Reyes, who plead not guilty, is held on $250,000 bail and will return to court on April 29.
"Skating wasn't just a passion to him; it was a lifestyle and a means to inspire. This act would immortalize his essence, his talent and his spirit."
"Just after 5 p.m. March 27, Springfield police officers responded to a call about a vehicle striking a pedestrian at the intersection of Parker Street and Verge Street."
