"According to court records and authorities, Hernandez was driving south in the 600 block of Hegenberger Road in a Honda Civic belonging to a relative about 8:04 p.m. that night when he failed to stop for a red light at Baldwin Street and struck Warren, who was in a crosswalk. Warren was taken to a hospital, where he later died."
"At the time of the incident, police had no witnesses or other leads in the case. But in May of this year, investigators received tips about Hernandez allegedly being the driver and having admitted his involvement to others. According to the documents, based on that information investigators reviewed license plate reader cameras and were able to track the Honda to Hernandez's home in San Leandro."
Mateo Hernandez, 24, was arrested and charged with vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and leaving the scene of an accident that caused a death or serious injury. The Nov. 23, 2024 collision killed 59-year-old bicyclist Reggie Warren, who was struck in a crosswalk after Hernandez failed to stop for a red light at Baldwin Street. Hernandez continued driving without checking on Warren. Investigators later received tips, reviewed license-plate reader footage, tracked the Honda to Hernandez’s San Leandro home, recovered the vehicle on May 2, and used cell phone records to obtain a warrant; he was arrested Dec. 13.
